Abstract

Aggregates are defined as inert, granular, and inorganic materials that normally consist of stone or stone-like solids. Aggregates can be used alone (in road bases and various types of fill) or can be used with cementing materials (such as Portland cement or asphalt ce- ment) to form composite materials or concrete. The most popular use of aggregates is to form Portland cement concrete. Approximately three-fourths of the volume of Portland ce- ment concrete is occupied by aggregate. It is inevitable that a constituent occupying such a large percentage of the mass should have an important effect on the properties of both the fresh and hardened products. As another important application, aggregates are used in as- phalt cement concrete in which they occupy 90% or more of the total volume.
