Coarse aggregate used in this research is crushed gravel, with a nominal size of 12.7mm. The specific gravity of the gravel was determined to be 2.56, and the bulk density was determined to be 1449kg/m3 and having a percentage of voids of 7.8%. The coarse aggregate (gravel) particles were passed through a series of standard sieve sizes starting
Granite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rock composed primarily of light-coloured minerals. Crushed granites are small chips of granite, used as a base layer for paving. They are rock-aggregate used in building and general construction [2]. In Southwest-ern region of Nigeria, the estimated demand in 2008 for granite chipping was 24.2 million
aggregate of fine aggregate (sharp sand) and coarse aggregate (granite, gravel, palm kernel shell). It can be observed from the result of the test carried out that the curing ages, has different effect in the strength of concrete of the same aggregate and mix ratio. The mean strength of concrete cured at 7days , 14days, 21days, and 28days
On the other hand, stones or chippings as they are called are coarse aggregates which are more than 4.75 mm in diameter. They may come as gravel, cobbles or boulders. In mortar, sand serve as a fine aggregate mixed with the binder (usually Portland cement or Lime) in a given ratio so as to give the outcome an adhesive surface area, prevent it

Construction Materials and their current market prices. Hoop iron cost Ksh. 2700 per roll. Coarse Aggregates (kokoto) Coarse aggregate extracted by breaking from rocks using explosives & crushed into pieces using machines & coarse aggregate sizes 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, 40mm, 60mm are divided using big sieves in machines & coarse aggregate like 6,12,20mm is used to mix in concrete for construction
1.Size of Coarse Aggregates: The size of the coarse aggregate depends on the use of the concrete is to be poured. For large-scale concreting operations without complex reinforcement, large aggregates of size 80 mm, 40 mm, 20 mm are used. For the simple construction of residential or other buildings, 20 mm is the maximum size will be used.

Granite: The granite (coarse aggregate) used for the study was of range 2mm to 19mm graded, it was source from a quarry on Iyuku Auchi suburb community Nigeria, Edo
selected quarries in Ondo State, Nigeria. In this study, two granite quarries out of the quarrying companies in Ondo State are used as case studies. In order to achieve the aim of Coarse aggregate: Aggregates predominately retained on the No. 4 (4.75 mm) sieve. For mass concrete, the maximum size can be as large as 150 mm.
Coarse Aggregate The coarse aggregate are crushed rock obtained from three different rock quarries with aggregate sizes ranging from 25.4mm to 9.52mm. They are labelled as Samples K, L and M respectively. Methods and Results Sieve Analysis The sieve analysis was done in accordance with BS 812-1 [3].
The sample is collected from Abakaliki quarry site in Ebonyi State, Lokpanta quarry site in Umunneochi,Abia State and Otanmiri River in Owerri, Imo State, all in South East part of Nigeria. The properties of these aggregates differ from place to place due to the composition of the parent material, weathering and other environmental factors.

for coarse aggregates are 10.94 and 0.5 respectively for unwashed while for the washed coarse aggregate, the C u and C c are 5.21 and 0.58 from Figure 2. This shows that the washed gravel is poorly graded. It can be concluded that the fine and coarse aggregates are not suitable for making good concrete. Workability

In this study, CEM I 42.5R and CEM IV/B (P) 32.5 N cements are used as binders and three different aggregate particle sizes as 2-3mm and 3-4 mm fine aggregates and 7-8 mm coarse aggregates are
ACI 116 [17], the maximum size of coarse aggregate used in concrete has a bearing on the economy and strength of concrete. Usually more water and cement are required for small-size aggregates than for large sizes, due to an increase in total aggregate surface area otherwise referred

focused on the prospect of recycled coarse aggregate for concrete production. The coarse aggregate component of normal concrete was replaced with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) in a 1:2:4 cement, sand and aggregate mix proportion and 0.5 water/cement ratio.

Ogun River at Majidun in Ikorodu, Lagos State were used as fine aggregates. Washed gravel was used as coarse aggregates. The ratio of fine to coarse aggregate adopted was 45:55 (ACI, 1992; Krell & Wischers, 1988). The Lafarge Elephant Portland Cement grade (42.5R) was used as binders for this study while portable water was used for the mixing.
elongated gravel, smooth rounded gravel, irregular gravel and flaky gravel, were also produced. The quantities of cement, sand, water and the coarse aggregate were kept constant for all the mix samples, the only variant is the gradation of the coarse gravel-aggregate. The details of the concrete mix proportion are shown in Table 1 below.
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. the size
Pakistan has vast potential of concrete aggregates due to having numerous mountainous ranges. However, the properties of these aggregates are yet to be explored as scant research has been carried out in this area. In this study, an experimental approach was adopted to compare the engineering properties of widely used coarse aggregates in Pakistan.
Aggregates are generally divided into two groups: Fine and Coarse. Fine aggregate consists of natural or manufactured sand with particles sizes up to 5mm. It consists of inert natural sand conforming to [1]. It does not contain more than a total of 5% by weight of the followings: shale, silt and structurally weak particles [2].
