It is an important factor and has a maximum influence on workability.
Different Types amp Sizes of Aggregate for Concrete.Aug 11, 2018 When the aggregate is sieved through 4.75mm sieve, the aggregate retained is called coarse aggregate. Gravel, cobble and boulders come under this category. The maximum size aggregate used may be dependent upon some conditions. In general, 40mm size aggregate used for normal strengths and 20mm size is used for high strength concrete.
