Aggregate: granular material used in construction. Aggregate may be natural, manufactured or recycled. Aggregate size: description of aggregate in terms of lower (d) and upper (D) sieve sizes (see later text). Coarse aggregate: designation given to the larger aggregate sizes with D greater or equal to 4 mm and d greater than or equal to 2 mm.
GRADING OF AGGREGATE: The particle size distribution of an aggregate as determined by sieve analysis is termed grading of the aggregate. The well graded aggregate containing minimum voids hence it required minimum paste to fill the gap/ voids in the aggregate result in increase economic, higher strength and greater durability. The …

Aggregates are available in nature in different sizes. The size of aggregate used may be related to the mix proportions, type of work etc. the size distribution of aggregates is called grading of aggregates. Following are the classification of aggregates based on size: Aggregates are classified into 2 types according to size. Fine aggregate
Afterward, the aggregate is removed from the drum and sieved on a No. 12 (1.70 mm) sieve. The aggregate retained on the sieve is weighed and the difference between this weight and the original weight is expressed as a percentage and reported as the L.A. abrasion loss value. Figure 11 shows major equipment used in the L.A. abrasion test.
Essentially, they are the most basic material used in construction. They provide the foundation for roads, bridges, and buildings, while also making up over 90% of an asphalt pavement and up to 80% of a concrete mix. On average, 38,000 tons of aggregates are necessary to construct one lane mile of interstate highway.
