Product Description:
Aggregate in building and construction, material used for mixing with cement, bitumen, lime, gypsum, or other adhesive to form concrete or mortar. The aggregate gives volume, stability, resistance to wear or erosion, and other desired physical properties to the finished product.
| Aggregate Турe | Description | Bond Strength in Concrete |
| Rounded Aggregate | Smooth and rounded edges, typically found in river beds. | Low bond strength due to smooth surfaces that reduce friction with the cement paste. |
| Elongated Aggregate | Longer than it is wide; can lead to weaker bonds due to difficulty in compacting evenly. | Low bond strength as these shapes don’t fit well can create weak points in the concrete. |
| Angular Aggregate | Has rough, angular, and irregular surfaces which provide better interlocking interlocking with and friction. | High bond strength because the rough , texture increases friction and cement. |
| Flaky Aggregate | Thin, flat particles Flaky that don’t compact well and can lead to weak spots in the concrete. | Low bond strength due to poor compaction and weak interlocking. |
