Classification of Aggregates Based on Size and Shape

Aggregates are available in nature in different sizes. The size of aggregate used may be related to the mix proportions, type of work etc. the size distribution of aggregates is called grading of aggregates.

What Is Aggregate? Properties of Aggregates | Aggregate

Aggregate is one of the three principal ingredients of concrete. It comes in different sizes and starts from sand and moving up to larger particles. These particles fit together to produce a dense material approx 70% of the volume of the concrete is aggregate. So in concrete, these pieces of aggregate are bound together by a mixture of cement
