Building Materials. Coarse aggregate is one of the essential components of concrete and occupies the largest volume in the mix. That is why it greatly affects the concrete mix design. Its properties such as strength, maximum size, shape, and water absorption influence water demand, the quantity of cement and fine aggregate in concrete mixture.
In particular, different rock types react differently with water absorption, thus altering the compactness of the concrete transition zone (Mohammed & Mahmood, …
Further compaction increased the compactness and the interlocking strength of the aggregates, ... The excessive coarse aggregate resulted in no stable skeleton structure in A-65-M-8 at this stage, which was reflected in the large fluctuation of the contact force change rate of smart aggregate after 90 rotations of compaction.
