The approximate bulk density of aggregate that is commonly used in normalweight concrete is between kg/m 3 (75110 lb/ft 3). Here, the Standard test method for determining the bulk density of aggregates is given in ASTM C 29 (AASHTO T 19). [2] Relative Density of Aggregate [1] The relative density (specific gravity) of an aggregate is the ratio of its mass to the mass of an equal ...
When the aggregate is sieved through sieve, the aggregate retained is called coarse aggregate. Gravel, cobble and boulders come under this egory. The maximum size aggregate used may be dependent upon some conditions. 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 .
· On the other hand in smaller size aggregates the surface area is increased which increases w/c ratio and lower strength is achieved. In general for strength upto 200 kg/cm 2 aggregates upto 40 mm may be used and for strength above 300 kg/cm 2 aggregate upto 20 mm may be used. Conditions That Decide Maximum Size of Coarse Aggregate to be Used in ...

aggregate density at the surface Figure 1, particularly with 7 to 10mm stones, the fine aggregate should not contain a high proportion of particles around the maximum size of 5 mm. Shape The shape of the aggregates will affect the workability of the fresh concrete and its strength when hardened. Smooth, rounded aggregates enhance

The Nature of the work decides which size of coarse aggregate should be used. The maximum size may be 20 cm for mass concrete, such as in dams etc. and 63 mm for plain cement concrete work. For reinforced cement concrete work usually, 20 mm size aggregate is preferred. For structural concrete common materials like gravel and crushed stone are used.

· 40 mm and 10 mm size should be used for work specified. Plums above 160 mm should be used, when specifically permitted in plain concrete with a max limit of 20% by volume and should not be closer than 150 mm from the surface. For heavily RCC members like ribs of main beams, the nominal maximum size of the aggregate should usually be restricted to 5 mm less than the minimum clear .
For uncrushed aggregate of 20 mm max. size aggregate approximate water content from table, is 160 kg/m 3. For moderate exposure and 25 mm cover maximum w/c ratio from durability consideration is permitted as Actually the lower value of the two should be adopted. Hence adopt w/c ratio as water content for 10 to 30 mm slump from table is 160 kg/m 3. Cement Content: From w ...

· Bulk Density Of Aggregates. Jalal Afsar July 30, 2012 Concrete Strength No Comments. Bulk density of aggregates is the mass of aggregates required to fill the container of a unit volume after aggregates are batched based on volume. It depends on the packing of aggregate Either loosely packed aggregates or well dense compacted aggregates.
