Coarse aggregate is used to describe particles larger than 4.75 mm, and the term fine aggregate is used for particles smaller than 4.75mm. Fine aggregates contain particles in the size range 75 µm to 4.75 mm, and coarse aggregates from 4.75 to about 40 mm, except for mass concrete which may contain particles up to 150 mm.

In fine-grained concrete, fine aggregate is used as the potential substitute for coarse aggregate. Fine-grained concrete with various functional properties is obtained by altering the compositions and the structure of normal concrete using filler materials and additives. Fine-grained porous concrete with various densities and strength can be ...

The surface area of coarse aggregates is less than fine aggregates. 6: Function in Concrete: The voids between the coarse aggregate are filled up by fine aggregate. Coarse aggregate acts as inert filler material for concrete. 7: Uses: Fine aggregates are used in mortar, plaster, concrete, filling of road pavement layers, etc.

Coarse aggregate is a term used in construction to describe a type of material that is commonly used in the production of concrete. It is typically made up of various materials such as gravel, crushed stone, and recycled concrete. The size of the coarse aggregate can vary, but it is typically between 3/8 inch and 1.5 inches in diameter.

Aggregates are the major constituent (ingredient) in concrete, making up 60% to 70% of the volume of concrete. Aggregates influence the workability of plastic concrete and also the durability, strength, thermal properties, and density of hardened concrete. Particle size divides aggregates into two categories: fine and coarse. Most …

The most common sizes of fine aggregate used in concrete are 2.36 mm, 1.18 mm, and 0.6 mm. Shape: The shape of fine aggregate can also have an impact on the properties of the concrete. The most common shapes of fine aggregate are rounded and angular. Rounded aggregates are smooth and provide good workability, while angular aggregates …

Concrete is a mixture of hydraulic cement, aggregates, and water, with or without admixtures, fibers, or other cementi-tious materials. Aggregates are granular materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic-cement concrete, or iron blast-furnace slag. Coarse aggregate is that portion retained on the 4.75 mm (No. 4) sieve.

Fine Aggregate Meaning. Fine aggregates are usually sand or crushed stone that are less than 9.55mm in diameter. Typically the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm. A larger size, 40mm, is more common in mass concrete. Larger aggregate diameters reduce the quantity of cement and water needed.
