Aggregates and Types of Aggreagtes

 There are many civil engineering materials.

          Aggregate is the combination of different civil engineering materials i.e. sand, stones and cements.

         Anywhere in the world any aggregate is made by the mixture of different materials, but these mixtures are mixed in such a way that they are mixed in proper proportion. Aggregate demand is getting higher and higher around the world.

TYPES:

          There are many types of aggregates in the language of civil engineering language. It is distributed in such a way that there types can provided ease in  the site work of engineering because of ease in selecting ratios of aggregates and their notation of the type for proper work.

MAIN TYPES OF AGGREGATE:

             There are two types of aggregates which are the main division.

i)                  Fine aggregates.

ii)               Coarse aggregates.

FINE AGGREGATES:

            It is a type of aggregate which are consists of sand and cements.

COARSE AGGREGATES:

            It is a type of aggregate which contains of large and small size stones, sand and cements.

OTHER TYPES OF AGGREGATE

1. TYPES ON THE BASIS OF SHAPE
2. TYPE ON THE BASIS OF MOISTURE Content
3. TYPES OF AGGREGATE ON THE BASIS OF GRADATION
4. TYPES OF AGGREGATE ON THE BASIS OF TEXTURE
