All About Coarse Aggregate: Types & Properties
Coarse aggregate is a term used in construction to describe a type of material that is commonly used in the production of concrete. It is typically made up of various materials such as gravel, crushed stone, and recycled concrete. The size of the coarse aggregate can vary, but it is typically between 3/8 inch and 1.5 inches in diameter.
