Aggregate used in concrete production can be natural, manufactured, and recycled (see Chap. 2). In concrete, rounded aggregates ( Fig. 9.6) give a more workable mix while angular aggregates ( Fig. 9.7) make concrete harder to place, work, and compact. For an adequate concrete mixture, aggregate requires to be clean, hard, and strong particles.
