What's the purpose of gravel in concrete?
Gravel occupies about 70-80% of the volume of concrete.It makes concrete economicalStrength of the concrete is determined only by the gravel. i.e., the body of the concrete.Property of concrete determined by the type of aggregate used.Shrinkage is less when larger size aggregate is used.
Why it is not suitable for all concrete mixture when the amount of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate is fixed in sieve test?
Why it is not suitable for all concrete mixture when the amount of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate is fixed?
Should a sidewalk be made of cement or concrete?
Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
Is concrete grout and mortar the same?
Concrete generally has larger aggregate than mortar.
What are the differences between cement mortar and concrete?
Cement mortar is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate and water.Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water.Generally, concrete have higher strength than cement mortar.
Is aggregate the same thing as concrete?
Aggregate is the gravel or stone in the concrete. It is what gives concrete it's strength. Think of the aggregate as the bricks of a wall and the concrete and sand as the mortar.
What is concrete typically made of?
Depending on the purpose concrete is typically made from a combination of materials which usually consists of concrete sand and small rocks called aggregate otherwise known as ballast.

Is concrete a plastic?
No. Concrete is made up mostly of aggregate.

Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.
Is concrete a polymer?
Polymer concrete is a composite material which results from polymerization of a monomer/aggregate mixture. The resulting polymer binds the aggregate making the concrete stronger than ordinary concrete using just standard aggregate.
What has the author C A Rogers written?
C. A. Rogers has written: 'Alkali aggregate reactions, concrete aggregate testing and problem aggregates in Ontario' -- subject(s): Concrete, Alkali-aggregate reactions, Testing
Does sizes of aggregates affect the compressive strength of concrete?
Larger the size of aggregate will decrease strength of the concrete because surface area of this aggregate is low.Lesser the size of the aggregate will lead to increase the strength of the concrete.Well graded aggregate have all size of particles hence particle interferance is neglected,thus strength of concrete is more.
What are VSI aggregates in concrete making?
The aggregate which are produced from vertical shaft impactor ( the machine which is installed in crusher plant to control the elongated and flaky aggregate ) for concrete.
Is concrete grout and mortar the same?
Concrete generally has larger aggregate than mortar.
What are the differences between cement mortar and concrete?
Cement mortar is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate and water.Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water.Generally, concrete have higher strength than cement mortar.
