The size of coarse aggregate which was used for the study passed through 16 mm sieve and retained on 12.5 mm sieve. The coarse aggregate was replaced by PKS of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%.
The RCA is consisting of coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) and fine RCA (FRCA). The CRCA is a small concrete component made up of old coarse aggregate, mortar and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) as shown in Fig. 2. Whereas the FRCA (<5 mm) is formed by crushing and sieving bits of old waste concrete mortar.

Coarse aggregates containing more than approximately 20% of the particles having ratios of length to circumscribed thickness greater than three to one, as determined by ASTM D 4791, should be avoided when making high-strength concrete. Aggregate particles should be clean and free of any materials that would degrade, such as organic matter, clay ...
Coarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the remainder. Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed.

By Ezra / 10/21/2023 / Building Material. When it comes to crafting concrete structures that stand the test of time, selecting the right coarse aggregate is paramount. The …
Construction aggregates are coarse, fine rocks used as building materials in construction. When combined with other materials, such as water, concrete mixture, and more, they add strength and durability to these materials. Although aggregates are a broad term, several are used more often than others. Here are four of the more common …

After demolition of old roads and buildings, the removed concrete is often considered worthless and disposed of as demolition waste. By collecting the used concrete and breaking it up, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is created (Fig. 1).This paper focuses on coarse RCA which is the coarse aggregate from the original concrete that …
In general, 40mm size aggregate used for normal strengths, and 20mm size is used for high strength concrete. the size range of various coarse aggregates given below. Coarse aggregate. Size. Fine gravel. 4mm – 8mm. Medium gravel. 8mm – 16mm. Coarse gravel. 16mm – 64mm.
Coarse aggregate is a fundamental material of civil engineering construction and is widely used in roads, bridges, dams, and other foundational …
Coarse aggregate is used in concrete to build megastructures for example different components of a building, bridges, foundations, etc. As high the coarse …
Fine aggregates are those that pass through a 4.75mm sieve. Natural sand, silt, and clay are common components of fine aggregates. They are primarily used to fill the voids in coarse aggregates and improve the workability of concrete. Fine aggregates also contribute to the overall cohesiveness of the mix. Applications of Fine Aggregates
The present study investigates the tensile strength of lightweight concrete containing lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA), focusing on the double punch test. To this end, 15 mixes were prepared in three groups based on three basic mixes of normal-weight concrete with characteristic strengths of 35, 70, and 90 MPa. The LECAs with …
Coarse aggregate, also known as crusher run or quarry run, is any crushed stone less than 4 inches in diameter. It is used for pavements, road construction, and sub-base for pavement and foundations for buildings.

Size: The size of coarse aggregate is typically measured in millimeters, and it can range from 4.75 mm to several inches in diameter. The most common sizes of coarse aggregate used in concrete are 20 mm, 16 mm, and 12.5 mm. Shape: The shape of coarse aggregate can also have an impact on the properties of the concrete.
Coarse aggregates refer to irregular and granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone, and are used for making concrete. In most cases, Coarse is naturally occurring and can be obtained by blasting quarries or crushing them by hand or crushers. It is imperative to wash them before using them for producing concrete.
Normal weight coarse aggregate is generally used in this concrete type. Lightweight concrete can also be classified according to its intended use, distinguishing between structural lightweight concrete (ASTM C 330-82a), concrete used in masonry units (ASTM C 331-81), and insulating concrete (ASTM C 332-83).
