How the changing of workability when the concrete mixture containing high aggregate content?
Aggregate to cement ratio is an important thing which affects the workability....! If the aggregate/cement ratio is higher , the concrete will be Leaner. Less quantity of paste is available for lubrication, Hence workability decreases..!! On the other hand if the aggregate/cement ratio is lower, the concrete will be fatty. Higher quantity of paste is available for lubrication. Hence workability increases. ! Thus Higher aggregate content leads to lowering of workability....!

How the moisture content of the aggregates obtainable at site affect the water content ratio specified?
Obviously, if the aggregates are in a surface wet condition, meaning the moisture content is greater than the absorption, that surface water increases the water-to-cement ratio and affects strength and durability.
Has the price for construction materials gone down since the economy has slowed overall construction?
The price of construction materials reflect the availability of the resources used to the make the materials. While the economy does effect production, an natural resources availability greatly affects cost.
