Best Answer

Silty clay is a kind of grayish aggregate that is often used in mixtures to make them cheaper. It is an inorganic soil and its particles are very small. It is mainly composed of silt and clay. They use this mixture so that those small particles fill the smallest voids between the other aggregates. It should not be used in an excessive quantity because it will weaken the strength of the mixture
