Aggregates for Concrete
The importance of using the right type and quality ofaggregates cannot be overemphasized. The fine andcoarse Aggregates generally occupy 60% to 75% of theconcrete volume (70% to 85% by mass) and strongly influ-ence the Concrete s freshly mixed and hardened proper-ties, mixture proportions, and economy. Fine Aggregates (Fig. 5-1) generally consist of natural sand or crushedstone with most particles smaller than 5 mm ( in.).Coarse Aggregates (Fig. 5-2) consist of one or a com-CHAPTER 5 Aggregates for Concretebination of gravels or crushed stone with particlespredominantly larger than 5 mm ( in.) and generallybetween mm and mm (3 8in.)
perlite, vermiculite, and diatomite are used to produce insulating lightweight concretes ranging in density from about 250 to 1450 kg/m. 3 (15 to 90 lb/ft. 3). Heavyweight materials such as barite, limonite, magnetite, ilmenite, hematite, iron, and steel punchings or shot are used to produce heavyweight concrete and radiation-shielding
