Concrete
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 2
Concrete is a composite material…
Aggregates with different sizes are surrounded by cement paste
Cement paste Aggregates Fine (d≤4mm), Coarse (4≤d≤25mm)
• Cement • Cementitious materials (Puzolans) • Water • Chemical admixtures
Concrete with crushed stone aggregates
Aggregates
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 3
• Aggregates constitute a skeleton of concrete. • Occupy approx. 60 – 75 % of the volume of conventional
concrete. • Affect fresh and hardened state properties of concrete. • Physical, thermal, and, sometimes, chemical properties
can influence the performance of concrete .
• Serve as an inexpensive filler. • Provides high volume stability in concrete by restricting
shrinkage of the cement paste to a certain extent.
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 4
Effects of Aggregates
Aggregate in fresh and plastic concrete: The behavior of fresh concrete, such as fluidity, cohesiveness, and rheological behavior, is largely influenced by the amount, type, surface texture, and size gradation of the aggregate. The selection of aggregate has to meet the requirement of the end use, i.e., what type of structure to be built.
Dmax should be approprate!
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 5
Aggregate in hardened concrete: Although there is little chemical reaction between the aggregate and cement paste, the aggregate contributes many qualities to the hardened concrete. In addition to reducing the cost, aggregate in concrete can reduce the shrinkage and creep of cement paste. Aggregates have a big influence on stiffness, unit weight, strength, thermal properties, bond, and wear resistance of concrete.
Effects of Aggregates
Classification of Aggregates
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 6
Classification criteria:
• Size • Source • Unit weight
Classification in accordance with SIZE
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 7
Coarse Aggregate • Aggregates retained on a No. 4 (4.75-mm)
sieve are classified as COARSE (ASTM) • Size of aggregate ranges from 5 to 150
mm. • For normal concrete used for structural
members such as beams and columns, the maximum size of coarse aggregate is about 25 mm.
Fine Aggregate • Aggregates passing through a No. 4 (4.75-
mm), retaining No.200 (75 µm) sieve are classified as FINE (ASTM)
• River sand is the most commonly used fine aggregate.
• Crushed rock fines can be used as fine aggregate.
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 8
Classification in accordance with SOURCE
Natural aggregates: This kind of aggregate such as sand and gravel is taken from natural deposits without changing the nature during production.
Manufactured (synthetic) aggregates : These kinds of aggregate are manmade materials, resulting from products or by-products of industry. Some examples are blast furnace slag and lightweight aggregate.

Aggregate Sources
• Natural:
– natural sand & gravel pits, river rock
– quarries (crushed aggregates)
• Manufactured & recycled materials:
– pulverized concrete & asphalt
– steel mill slag
– steel slugs
– expanded clay and shale
– styrofoam

Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 10
Ultra-lightweight aggregate: • Unit weight of such aggregates is less than 500 kg/m3
• Expanded perlite and foam plastic are the examples. • The concrete made of ultra-lightweight aggregates has a bulk density from 800 to 1100 kg/m3
depending on the volume fraction of aggregate. • Such a concrete can be used only as nonstructural members, like partition walls.
Lightweight aggregate: • The unit weight of such aggregates is between 500 and 1120 kg/m3 • Blast-furnace slag, volcanic pumice, and expanded clay. • The concrete made of lightweight aggregate has a bulk density between 1200 and 1800 kg/m3
• Such concrete can be either a structural member or nonstructural member, depending what type of aggregate is used.
Classification in accordance with UNIT WEIGHT
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 11
Normal-weight aggregate: • An aggregate with a unit weight of 1520–1680 kg/m3. • Sand, gravel, and crushed rock belong to this category. • Concrete made with this type of aggregate has a bulk density of 2300–2400 kg/m3.
• It is the main concrete used to produce important structural members. Heavy-weight aggregate: • If the unit weight of aggregate is greater than 2100 kg/m3, it is • classified as heavy-weight aggregate. • Materials used as heavy-weight aggregate are iron ore, crashed steel pieces, and
magnesite limonite. • The bulk density of the corresponding concrete is greater than 3200 kg/m3 and can
reach 4000 kg/m3. • This kind of concrete has special usage, like radiation shields in nuclear power
plants, hospitals, and laboratories. • It can also be used as sound-shielding material.
Classification in accordance with UNIT WEIGHT
Properties of Aggregate
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 12
The moisture condition defines the presence and amount of water in the pores and on the surface of the aggregate.
• Oven Dry • Air Dry • Saturated Surface Dry • Wet
When aggregate is under either the OD or AD condition, it will absorb water during the concrete mixing process until the internal pores are fully filled with water.
Moisture Content (MC) of Aggregate
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 13
Wstock is the weight of aggregate in the stock condition. WOD the weight of oven-dried aggregates. WSSD is the weight of aggregate in the SSD condition.
Absorption capability of an aggregate is defined as the total amount of
water that can be taken by an aggregate from the OD to the SSD condition.
What is the importance of moisture content and water absorption capacity of aggregates?
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 14
In designing a concrete mix, the moisture content usually uses the SSD condition as a reference, because it is an equilibrium condition at which the aggregate will neither absorb water nor give up water to the paste.
If the MCSSD value is positive, it means that the aggregate is under a surface moisture condition. If it is negative, it means that the pores in the aggregate are only partly filled with water.
The amount of water used for mixing concrete has to be adjusted according to the MCSSD value in order to keep a correct w/c ratio, especially for a high-strength concrete in which a small w/c ratio is used, and the amount of adjusted water involved in MC can easily be a large portion of the total amount of water in the mixture.
Density and Specific Gravity
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 15
Since aggregates are porous materials, even a single piece of aggregate contains both solid material volume and pores volume. Hence, two types of aggregate density are defined: Density (D) and Bulk Density (BD)
Density (D) is defined as the weight per unit volume of solid material only, excluding the pores volume inside a single aggregate:
Bulk density (BD) is defined as the weight per unit volume of both solid material and the pores volume inside a single aggregate:
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 16
Density and Specific Gravity Specific gravity (SG) is a ratio of density or bulk density of aggregate to density of water. As second definition; SG is the mass of a given substance per unit mass of an equal volume of water.
Depending on the definition of volume, the specific gravity can be divided into absolute specific gravity (ASG) and bulk specific gravity (BSG).
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 17
Density and Specific Gravity • In practice, the BSG value is the realistic one to use since the effective
volume that an aggregate occupies in concrete includes its internal pores. • The BSG of most rocks is in the range of 2.5 to 2.8. • The BSG can be determined using the so-called displacement method. • In this method, Archimedes’ principle is utilized. • The weight of aggregate is first measured in air, e.g., under the SSD
condition, and is denoted as WSSD in air. Then, the weight of the sample is measured in water, denoted as WSSD in water.
where Wdisplacement is the weight of water displaced by the aggregates
Unit Weight
Advanced Concrete Technology - Zongjun Li 18
• The unit weight is defined as the weight per unit bulk volume for bulk aggregates.
• The bulk volume also includes the space among the particles.
According to the weight measured at different conditions, the unit weight can be divided into UW(SSD) and UW(OD):
The percentage of spacing (voids) among the aggregates can be calculated as

• Traditional – Maximum aggregate size – the
largest sieve size that allows all the aggregates to pass
– Nominal maximum aggregate size – the first sieve to retain some aggregate, generally less than 10%
• Superpave – Maximum aggregate size – one
sieve size larger than the nominal maximum aggregate size
– Nominal maximum aggregate size – one sieve larger that the first sieve to retain more than 10% of the aggregate

Particle Shape & Surface Texture
• Shape = angular, rounded, flaky, or elongated
• Flaky and elongated are bad because of easy breakage
and difficulty compacting in thin asphalt layers
– High friction (angular, rough) for strength & stability of
asphalt
– Low friction (rounded, smooth) for workability of concrete

Specific Gravity • The mass of a material divided by the mass of water whose volume is equal to the
volume of the material at a specific temperature, or
– G = r / rw
– rw = density of water at specified temperature
– @ 4C, rw is:
• 1000 kg/m3 = 1 g/ml = 1 g/cc
• 62.4 lb/ft3 (remember to stay consistent with force and mass units for
measurements and the issue of force and mass will go away as G is a ratio)

Bulk Unit Weight & Voids in Aggregates
• Previous treatment of specific gravity and unit weight were for aggregate particles.
• The voids considered were for the voids at the surface of the particles.
• Sometimes we need to know the mass or weight of aggregate required to fill a volume, e.g. the volume of coarse aggregate in a cubic yard of concrete.
• Bulk unit weight is the weight of aggregate required to fill a “unit” volume. Typical units are cubic meters and cubic feet.

Types of Gradation Maximum Density Gradation: 0.45 Power Chart High density gradation (Well Graded) – has a good mix of all particle sizes which means the aggregates use
most of the volume and less cement or asphalt is needed One-size gradation (Uniform) – all same size = nearly vertical curve
Gap-graded – missing some sizes = nearly horizontal section of curve
Open-Graded – missing small aggregates which fill in holes between larger ones
– lower part of curve is skewed toward large sizes

Alkali-Aggregate Reactivity
• Silica in some agg. reacts with the alkalis (Na2O, K2O) in Portland Cement (especially in warm, humid climates) – excessive expansion – cracking – popouts
• Carbonates in aggregate can also react to a lesser extent
• Minimizing reactivity if a reactive aggregate must be used – Type II cement – minimizes alkali
content of P.C. – Keep concrete as dry as possible Fly
Ash (Pozzolans) reduce alkali reactivity (not too much)
– Sweetening – add crushed limestone to the aggregate

– any movement of aggregates promotes segregation
• small drop height
• build stockpiles in multiple cones
– fractionalize stockpiles
• close to single size aggregates in each stockpile
• batch separately
