Shape and size: – Shape and Size of the aggregates decides the cement required for concrete. This means If shape and size of the aggregates are good then concrete will need optimum cement hence concrete will be economical. Maximum size of aggregates reduces the quantity of cement required. Size and shape directly impacts strength of…
What is Aggregate? Aggregate, is a broad category of coarse- to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. The aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Due to the relatively high hydraulic conductivity value as compared to most soils. Why Use Aggregates in Concrete? Aggregates…
Cement is has many different physical properties, Physical properties helps to find quality of cement. If cement lies with specified limits of its physical properties then it indicates quality of the cement is good. Physical Properties of Cement Fineness Of Cement: – The size of the particle of the cement is known as Fineness of…
