testing procedures for coarse and fine aggregate as well as the ability to determine if the materials required to produce a test sample of concrete are acceptable in standards. This process also affords each student to be acquainted with ASTM sampling and testing procedure for coarse and fine aggregate. As a
coarse aggregate with coconut shell aggregate is determined from the study. Coarse aggregate made from coconut shells were used in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35% to replace coarse aggregate in conventional concrete. A constant water to cement ratio of 0.5 was used throughout the study.
The proportion of various sizes of particles constituting coarse and fine aggregates are determined by sieving. Fine aggregates must be dried before sieving. The dried sample will give a more accurate analysis. Coarse aggregates are sieved through the following sieve sizes: 40mm, 20mm, 10mm, and 4.75mm.
Coarse aggregates are typically classified based on their size, shape, and strength. 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.
🕑 Reading time: 1 minute Coarse aggregate is one of the essential components of concrete and occupies the largest volume in the mix. That is why it greatly affects the concrete mix design. Its properties such as strength, maximum size, shape, and water absorption influence water demand, the quantity of cement and fine aggregate in […]
Testing for Sand Bulging. Dry aggregates, when dry or saturated, contain approximately the same amount but increase in income due to moisture. ... In addition, chloride transport tests were performed to check the properties of concrete. The test results indicate a decrease in durability when the ratio of silt content to fine aggregate is more ...
Grading Limit of Coarse Aggregate Grading Limit of Fine Aggregate. This test is done initially for concrete mix design and later conducted periodically for mix proportion adjustments if it is suspected that the grading of aggregates has changed considerably. 5. Fineness Modulus. Fineness modulus is generally used to get an idea of how coarse or ...
The Flakiness index of aggregates is the percentage by weight of particles whose least dimension (thickness) is less than three- fifths (0.6times) of their mean dimension. This test is not applicable to sizes smaller than 6.3mm. The Elongation index of an aggregate is the percentage by weight of particles whose greatest dimension (length) is ...
There are a variety of tests that can be performed on aggregate. One of the1 main tests is known as the sieve analysis. This test determines what size pieces are in the aggregate, and how evenly they are distributed. To perform this test, an aggregate sample is poured through a series of screens that have different sized holes in them.
Aggregate passing through 12.5 mm sieve and retained 10 mm sieve were used for both for Fly-ash aggregates and coarse aggregate to find the strength of the material. Crushing value, Impact value, Abrasion value test were performed as per IS 2386 Part-4; and water absorption, Bulk density, Specific Gravity Test were performed as per IS 2386 Part ...
Very often at the site of concrete work we may meet dry coarse aggregate and moist fine aggregate. The absorption capacity of the coarse aggregate is of the order of about 0.5 to 1 per cent by weight of aggregate. Free moisture in both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate affects the quality of concrete in more than one way.
The particle size distribution of the aggregate was analyzed, and the obtained result fulfilled the ASTM C 33 standard specification of coarse aggregate for concrete production. This test method is mainly used to identify the classification of materials being used as aggregates. The results are shown in Figure 1.

The properties of the bitumen, aggregates and the crumb rubber were determined using standard procedures. The mix design proportion consisted of coarse aggregates; 12.5 mm (10 %) and 9.5 mm (30 %), fine aggregate, 4.75 mm (55 %) and mineral filler, 0.075 mm (5 %). The gradation test was carried out according to ASTM C136 (2003).
This study was conducted to determine the effect of concrete strength using coarse aggregate 10mm, 20mm and fine aggregate (sand mining) 3mm, randomly purchased from suppliers. These samples were test using with the mixing ratio of 1: 2: 4 and water cement ratio is set 0.5. ... Pundits test the quality of both concrete aggregate size 20mm and 10mm
Twelve (12) cubes (150x150mm) of each type of coarse aggregate were cast for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days to determine their compressive strengths. Quartzite was found to have the highest average ...
01. Crushing Test on Aggregates . In order to decide the suitability of the aggregate for using in concrete/pavement construction, following tests are carried out: (a) Importance of Crushing Test: The aggregate crushing value test indicates the strength of aggregate which is the most essential property of coarse aggregate.
Using alternative 1:1.66:3.33 with water-cement ratio 0.6. Coconut shells were material in place of natural aggregate in concrete production replaced by 5%, 10% replacement of coarse aggregate with makes concrete as sustainable and environment friendly coconut shells.

The composition of the mixture was 1:1½:3 representing a ratio of cement: fine aggregate:coarse aggregate. The water-cement ratio was kept constant at 0.5. All mixtures achieved a slump of between 80 and 100 mm. The slump was determined using the standard slump test in accordance to SANS 5862-1 [9]. 2.3. Casting and curing of samples
Coarse aggregate is an important part of concrete as it provides a strong connection between cement paste and finer material, such as pebbles or sand. The combination of these two elements creates a durable and stable building material. Types of Coarse Aggregate. There are four main types of coarse aggregate: 1) Gravel. 2) Crushed stone. 3) Slag
