Aggregate Properties.
Read MoreIf either the strength of the paste or the bond between the paste and the aggregate is low, a concrete of poor quality will be obtained irrespective of the quality of the aggregate. But when cement paste of good quality is provided, and its bond with the aggregate is satisfactory, then the mechanical properties of the aggregate will influence the strength of the concrete.

Experimental determination of toughness of coarse aggregates. The toughness of coarse aggregates can be evaluated by ‘Aggregate Impact Value Test’. This test consists of subjecting an aggregate sample with an impact load.

Read MoreToughness of concrete includes the opening of cracks due to the applied external loads and closing of crack due to the inter-lock pressure of aggregate. Concrete is good in compression, where steel is good in tension but the conventional concrete has constrained ductility, low-impact, small resistance to crack and abrasion-resistance.
