CONCRETE MAKING MATERIALS –II: AGGREGATE
CLASSIFICATION OF AGGREGATES • ACCORDING TO GEOLOGICAL ORIGIN – NATURAL AGGREGATE – ARTIFICIAL AGGREGATE • ACCORDING TO SIZE – – FINE AGGREGATE COARSE AGGREGATE ALL-IN-AGGREGATE SINGLE-SIZE-AGGREGATE • ACCORDING TO SHAPE – – ROUNDED AGGREGATE IRREGULAR AGGREGATES ANGULAR AGGREGATE FLAKY AND ELONGATED AGGREGATE • BASED ON UNIT WEIGHT – NORMAL-WEIGHT AGGREGATE – HEAVY-WEIGHT OR HIGH-DENSITY AGGREGATE – LIGHT-WEIGHT AGGREGATE
CHARACTERISTICS OF AGGREGATES • • STRENGTH OF AGGREGATE PARTICLE SHAPE AND TEXTURE SPECIFIC GRAVITY BULK DENSITY • POROSITY AND ABSORPTION OF AGGREGATES • MOISTURE CONTENT OF AGGREGATE • BULKING OF FINE AGGREGATE
Percentage of Bulking of Sand with Moisture Content
DETERMINATION OF PERCENTAGE OF BULKING BY FIELD TEST • Fill a sample of moist fine aggregate (sand) into a measuring cylinder in the normal manner. Note down the level, say h 1. • Pour water into a measuring cylinder and completely cover the sand with water and shake it. Since the volume of the saturated sand is the same as that of the dry sand, the saturated sand completely offsets the bulking effect. Note down the level of sand, say h 2. • Subtract the final level h 2 from initial level h 1 (i. e. h 1 -h 2), which shows the bulking of sand under test. • Calculate percentage of bulking using formula given below. • Percentage of bulking = [(h 1 -h 2)/h 2]*100
DELETRIOUS SUBSTANCES IN AGGREGATES Deleterious Materials – Aggregates shall not contain any harmful material, such as pyrites, coal, lignite, mica, shale or similar laminated material, clay, alkali, soft fragments, sea shells and organic impurities in such quantity as to affect the strength or durability of the concrete. Aggregates to be used for reinforced concrete shall not contain any material liable to attack the steel reinforcement. Aggregates which are chemically reactive with alkalis of cement are harmful as cracking of concrete may take place
SOUNDNESS OF AGGREGATE • The ability of the aggregate to resist excessive changes in volume due to changes in environmental conditions.
ALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTION (AAR) OR ALKALI-SILICA REACTIVITY (ASR) • • • REACTIVITY OF AGGREGATE ALKALI CONTENT IN CEMENT AVAILABILTY OF MOISTURE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS ALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTION MECHANISM CONTROL OF ALKALI-AGGREGATE REACTION
