In this study, experiments have been carried out to evaluate the utilization of bottom ash (by-product of power plant) as fine and coarse aggregates in high-strength concrete with compressive strength of 60–80 MPa. Firstly, the chemical and physical characteristics of bottom ash particles, such as chemical compositions, specific gravity …





Concrete has become a widely used building material, with the global concrete consumption estimated to be around 14 billion cubic meters in 2020, according to statistics from the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) [].Aggregates in concrete are an essential component, constituting approximately 75% of the total …



The production of aggregate for the infrastructural development of the country has been increasing for the last three decades due to the high urbanization rates in the main cities of the country and the ever-growing demand for basic infrastructural facilities. The environmental impact of both fine and coarse aggregate production is …



Aggregates may be broadly classi fied as natural or artificial, both with respect to source and to method of preparation. Natural sands and gravels are the product of weathering and the action of wind or water, while manufactured crushed fine aggregate and crushed stone coarse and fine aggregate are produced by crushing natural stone.











Natural sand or crushed stone are the most common fine aggregates, with the majority of particles passing through a 4.7mm sieve. These can come from primary, secondary, or recycled sources, just like coarse aggregates. COARSE AGGREGATE:- Coarse aggregates are particles with a diameter of more than 4.75mm but typically ranging …















The allowable percentage of deleterious substances for both fine and coarse aggregate are listed in ASTM C 33 Tables 1 and 3, respectively. Some projects might require even more-stringent limits. To avoid post-placement problems in concrete that are difficult to rectify, verify that these limits are not exceeded at the time of material submittals.





Industrial silica sand is a by-product obtained from the industries like paint, paper, rubber etc. It has a similar property with river sand and& M sand. This study explores the effect of high content of silica sand as a partial replacement for fine aggregate for concrete making in construction purpose. In this present research four types of silica …









Fine Aggregate: Coarse Aggregate: Fine Aggregate is smaller in size: Coarse Aggregate is bigger in size: Fine Aggregates are passes through a 4.75 mm sieve and retain on a 0.075 mm sieve. Coarse aggregates are retained on 4.75 mm sieve. It is made of Sand, surki, stone screenings, burnt clays, cinders, fly ash



1. Fine aggregate. 2. Coarse aggregate. Fine aggregate. The aggregates which pass through a 4.75mm sieve are known as fine aggregates. Generally, the river sand is considered a fine aggregate. But at a place where natural sand is not available economically, crushed stone may be used as fine aggregate. Fine sand, silt, and clay …







This study analysed the effect of substituting different percentages of natural aggregate with recycled aggregate from concrete crushing, using a coarse fraction as well as a fine fraction. Natural and recycled materials were classified in order to analyse the mechanical performance and impermeability of these eco-concretes in the fresh state as …



The surface area of coarse aggregate is less than fine aggregates. 6: Function in Concrete: The voids between the coarse aggregate are filled up by fine aggregate. Coarse aggregate acts as inert filler material for concrete. 7: Uses: Fine aggregates are used in mortar, plaster, concrete, filling of road pavement layers, etc.



Fine aggregate, one of the primary constituents of concrete along with cement, water, and coarse aggregates, is a term used to describe small, inert materials, whether granular or crushed stone. These fine aggregates are essential components in concrete mixtures and play a crucial role in determining the properties of the resulting …
