Fig. 7: Fine Aggregates Grading Requirement as per ASTM Standard C33/C33M-18. The 'American Standard for Testing and Materials' (commonly known as ASTM) provides guidelines for gradation of aggregates so that the concrete mix made following the standard recommendations does not fall short of adequate workability, durability and strength.
Read MoreCoarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the remainder. Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed.

Read MoreThe quality of fine aggregates influences the basic properties of fine-grained concrete to a higher extent than for conventional concrete. As per several studies, the replacement of coarse aggregate with fine sand in concrete reduces the strength by 25 to 30%.
Read MoreFor conventional concrete the fineness modulus of the fine aggregate should range from 2.3 to 3.1. A higher fineness modulus represents a coarser material and a lower fineness modulus represents a finer material. Knowing the fineness modulus of aggregate gives you some indication of the amount of paste needed to make concrete using the aggregate.

Read MoreFine Aggregate. In concrete or mortar, the aggregate is a granular material, it is called fine aggregate when the particles of granular material are so fine that they can pass through a 4.75mm sieve. To increase the volume of concrete it is used in the construction industry and is cost-saving material.

How much coarse aggregate is needed for one cubic meter of concrete if dry rodded density of coarse aggregate is 1811 Kg/m3? 3354 kg 978 kg 1811 kg O 1145 kg ; Question: We are making concrete with Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size (NMAS) of 12.5 mm. The fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.90.
Read MoreSpecial care is necessary when using fine RCA. Only up to 10 to 20 percent fine RCA is beneficial. The aggregate should be tested at several substitution rates to determine the optimal rate. Often recycled aggregate is combined with aggregate when used in new concrete.

Read MoreSo here in this project, Silica sand had been used as replacement of fine aggregate by different percentage for making concrete of M-20, with w/c ratio 0.50 & 0.45. The percentage replacement will be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% with natural fine aggregates. For making concrete OPC -53 grade cement is used.
Read MoreMore performance tests are also used to test aggregates in concrete. A typical consensus specification for fine and coarse aggregate for concrete is ASTM C 33. Synthetic aggregates may be either byproducts of an industrial process, in the case of blast-furnace slag, or products of processes developed to manufacture aggregates with special
Read Moreaggregate for concrete (ASTM Designation: C30), and this test, used in conjunction with the standard method of test for unit weight of aggregate (ASTM Designation C29) is helpful in the selection of an aggregate blend when working with a new aggregate in which the fine and coarse sizes have similar bulk specific gravities. As a starting point

However, the availability of river sand for the preparation of concrete is becoming scarce due to the extreme nonscientific
Read MoreAggregates shall not be chemically reactive with alkali of cement. Depending upon the size of their particles the aggregates are classified as fine aggregates, coarse aggregates and cyclopean aggregates. Fine and coarse aggregates make up the bulk of a concrete mixture. Sand, natural gravel, and crushed stone are used mainly for this purpose.
Read MoreA concrete mix necessarily contents cement, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Aggregate occupy about 60 – 70% volume of concrete. In this percentage 40 to 50 % proportion of aggregate is fine aggregate (sand). Fine aggregate selection plays vital role in concrete performance and its cost.
Read MoreFine aggregates are essentially any natural sand particles won from the land through the mining process. Fine aggregates consist of natural sand or any crushed stone particles that are ¼" or smaller.This product is often referred to as 1/4'" minus as it refers to the size, or grading, of this particular aggregate.
