- Aggregates for Concrete
Synthetic aggregates may be either byproducts of an industrial process, in the case of blast-furnace slag, or products of processes developed to manufacture aggregates with special properties, as in the case of expanded clay, shale, or slate used for lightweight aggregates Some lightweight aggregates such as pumice or scoria also occur naturally

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational programs, certification programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a commitment to pursuing the best use of concrete
- ASTM C33 C33M-18, Standard Specification for Concrete Aggregates.
Title: ASTM C33 C33M-18, "Standard Specification for Concrete Aggregates " Author (s): ASTM Subcommittee C09 20 on Aggregates Publication: Commentary Reference Volume: Issue: Appears on pages (s): Keywords: DOI: 10 1520 C0033_C0033M-18 Date: 4 1 2018 Abstract: This specification defines the requirements for grading and quality of fine and coarse aggregate for use in concrete Fine aggregate
- What is aggregate? - American Concrete Institute
What is aggregate? A What is aggregate? A Aggregate is granular material, such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed hydraulic cement concrete, or air-cooled iron blast-furnace slag, used with hydraulic cement to produce either concrete or mortar It is divided into two groups by size, as coarse aggregate (material retained on the 4 75-mm (No 4) sieve), and fine aggregate (material
- E-1 (16) Aggregates for Concrete
Aggregate types including normalweight, lightweight and heavyweight natural aggregate; blast furnace slag aggregates; and recycled aggregates from crushed reclaimed concrete pavements are covered

5 4 1 Use of Non-Reactive Aggregate Most obvious and certain (?) way of preventing deleterious AAR Nonreactive aggregates are not available in many locations AAR has occurred with aggregates that test to be “non-reactive” It may be prudent to take further precautions even with “non-reactive” aggregates
- Requirements for storing and handling aggregate
A third problem is the maintenance of uniform and stable moisture content in the aggregates as batched (ACI 304R, ACI 221R) A practical method of reducing segregation to a minimum in coarse aggregate is to separate the material into several size fractions and batch these fractions separately
- Aggregate classification by density - American Concrete Institute
Aggregate classification by density Q Are aggregates classified according to density? A Yes Those used to make normal-density concrete are called normal-density aggregates Those for low-density concrete (historically known as “lightweight” concrete) that have an air-dried density at 28 days usually in the range of 1440 to 1850 kg m 3 (90 to 115 lb ft 3), are called low-density
