1.Size of fine aggregates: The largest size that falls under the limit of the exact set is 4.75 mm. Using the largest size will give more dense concrete, but a mixture of all sizes is more desirable and more economical. If cement mortar is prepared for masonry work or plastering work, very fine types of sand of similar size is used.

Aggregates are the most mined material in the world. Construction aggregate is a broad category of granular raw material of different sizes (sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete etc) used in construction. Aggregate can be used in a number of ways in construction. In roads and railway ballast the aggregates are used to resist the overall (static as well as

The smaller sand works better for flagstones that are closer together. The patio we worked with yesterday had gaps anywhere from 1 inch to 6 inches between the stone, so a 1/4 inch gravel really was the best option. This is why I always recommend going with crushed gravel again, it depends on the type of patio and the gaps we have to work with.

Decomposed Granite materials are exactly that, granite rock in a state of decay that is quarried and processed through screening equipment to be sold as ground cover, pathway, athletic field surfaces and driving surfaces. Typical sizes are 3/8 minus, 1/4 minus and track fines. True decomposed granite materials have irregular semi round quartz ...

Locally available sand, known as Sylhet Sand, was used as fine aggregate. Gradations of both coarse and fine aggregates were determined through sieve analysis, according to ASTM C-136 and are plotted in Fig. 2. Fineness modulus (FM) of MCA, stone chips and sand were found as 6.37, 8.42 and 2.43, respectively.

To shape concrete, aggregate is mixed with cement that is used to lay the base of a road or even a roof in a building. Many ingredients, such as sand, gravel, stone, crushed rock and sometimes even waste slug from the iron and steel industry, are used to form aggregates. In general, aggregate is graded as fine and coarse.

Aggregate is a granular material, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic-cement concrete, or iron blast-furnace slag, used with a hydraulic cementing medium to produce either concrete or mortar. Those particles that are predominantly retained on the 4.75 mm (No. 4) sieve, are called coarse aggregates. Those particles passing the 9.5 mm (3/8 inch)

In some parts of the country, 'all-in ballast' refers to a mixture of gravel and/or small stone (<60mm) with sand, often used to make concrete. Elsewhere, it can refer to the coarse granular stone (around 40-50mm in size) used to support railway lines or as a general 'fill' material of crushed rock, slag or gravel.
