At a given water ratio, within the range employed in most structural concrete, smaller maximum sizes of aggregate will tend to produce higher concrete strengths than larger ones. 2. The larger sizes will require less mixing water and hence, for a given cement factor, will produce concrete of lower water-ratio than the smaller sizes. 3.

Because maximum aggregate size can impact concrete properties such as shrinkage, and also the cost of concrete, the largest aggregate size consistent with the requirements of 26.4.2.1 should be permitted. With the w/cm fixed, the larger the nominal maximum size of aggregates, the lower the cement content for a given consistency. Or, stated ...

The concrete mixture is completely redesigned according to the maximum size of coarse aggregate needs and maintaining uniform workability for all sizes of coarse aggregate. The American design method was adopted ACI 211.1, for normal concrete. ACI 211-4R, the design method was adopted for high strength concrete.

In designing concrete structures, normally maximum aggregate sizes are adopted with ranges from 10mm to 20mm. Does an increase of maximum aggregate size benefit the structures? To answer this question, let's consider an example of a cube. The surface area to volume . ratio of a cube is 6/b where b is the length of the cube.

When an aggregate does not meet the ASTM C404 grading requirements, it may still be used provided the requirements of ASTM C404 section 4.2 are met. These requirements prescribe minimum and maximum aggregate sizes and a minimum grout compressive strength of 2,000 psi (13.79 MPa).

Using the maximum size of aggregates not only increases the service life of a house or a building, but it also procures the following benefits: 01. Reduction of the cement content that is used to make concrete and thereby saving cost. 02. Reduction in water requirement. 03.

Walker and Bloem (1960) and Bloem and Gaynor (1963) concluded that an increase in aggregate size results in a decrease in the compressive strength of concrete. Cook (1989) showed that, for compressive strengths in excess of 69 MPa (10,000 psi),

The aggregate size plays an important role in the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of concrete, which is strongly related to the size effect.

Information on Selecting Maximum Aggregate Size In general, smaller size aggregates have been shown to produce higher strength concretes, for a fixed w/(c+p) ratio. However, the use of the largest possible coarse aggregate may be an important consideration in terms of optimizing modulus of elasticity, creep, and drying shrinkage of the concrete.
