The effect of aggregate grading on concrete strength

The effect of aggregate grading on concrete strength. Q. How does the grading of the aggregates affect the strength of concrete? A. When the w/cm is the same and the mixtures are plastic and workable, considerable changes in grading will not have a large effect on concrete strength.The principal effect of changing the aggregate grading is to change the amount of cementitious …

International Concrete Abstracts Portal

It is found that the Young's modulus of concrete increases with an increase in aggregate aspect ratio, minimum aggregate diameter, or both, but decreases by increasing the interfacial transition zone thickness. It is also found that the maximum aggregate diameter and aggregate gradation have little effect on the Young's modulus of concrete.
