Construction aggregates are coarse, fine rocks used as building materials in construction. When combined with other materials, such as water, concrete mixture, and more, they add strength and durability to these materials. Although aggregates are a broad term, several are used more often than others. Here are four of the more common types …

Achieving an optimized gradation generally requires the combination of at least three differently sized aggregates. This is in contrast to most concretes, which typically contain two aggregates: a fine aggregate, generally with a large percentage passing the 2.36-mm (No. 8) sieve, and a coarse aggregate with very few gradation-based restrictions.

The terms concrete and cement are often used interchangeably. However, the two aren't the same product. Cement is the main ingredient in concrete and acts as a binder. Portland cement is the most common cement used in concrete. Along with cement, concrete also contains water, a coarse aggregate, and a fine aggregate like gravel or sand.

Aggregate is classified as two different types, coarse and fine. Coarse aggregate is usually greater than 4.75 mm (retained on a No. 4 sieve), while fine aggregate is less than 4.75 mm (passing the No. 4 sieve). The compressive aggregate strength is an important factor in the selection of aggregate.

Normal weight aggregate yields concrete with unit weights ranging from 23 to 26 KN/m3 and a specific gravity ranging from 2.5 to 2.7. These aggregates have crushing strengths ranging from 15 to 40 MPa at 28 days. Sand, gravel, and crushed rocks such as granite, basalt, quartz, sandstone, and limestone are typical aggregate examples.
