Coarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the remainder. Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed.

Coarse aggregates containing more than approximately 20% of the particles having ratios of length to circumscribed thickness greater than three to one, as determined by ASTM D 4791, should be avoided when making high-strength concrete. Aggregate particles should be clean and free of any materials that would degrade, such as organic matter, clay ...

Aggregates are generally designated as either fine (ranging in size from 0.025 to 6.5 mm [0.001 to 0.25 inch]) or coarse (from 6.5 to 38 mm [0.25 to 1.5 inch] or larger). All aggregate materials must be clean and free from admixture with soft particles or vegetable matter, because even small quantities of organic soil compounds result in …

Size: The size of coarse aggregate is typically measured in millimeters, and it can range from 4.75 mm to several inches in diameter. The most common sizes of coarse aggregate used in concrete are 20 mm, 16 mm, and 12.5 mm. Shape: The shape of coarse aggregate can also have an impact on the properties of the concrete.

The RCA is consisting of coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) and fine RCA (FRCA). The CRCA is a small concrete component made up of old coarse aggregate, mortar and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) as shown in Fig. 2. Whereas the FRCA (<5 mm) is formed by crushing and sieving bits of old waste concrete mortar.

This range indicates that the coarse aggregate has a density between 2.4 and 2.9 times that of water. As a result, the thickness of the aggregate itself, expressed in units of mass per unit volume, can be calculated by multiplying the specific gravity by the density of water.
