Limits Of Crushing Strength Of The Aggregate From Kenya

The effect of the fine aggregates properties on the compressive strength of concrete was evaluated using the same concrete mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 for cement: sand: coarse aggregates to obtain concrete class 25 N/mm 2 at a constant slump of 50 5 mm using the three types of cements (32.5R, 32.5N and 42.5N) and fine aggregates from three locations (TS, QV and QB) while the effect of the cement

aggregate and crushed stone coarse and fine aggregate are produced by crushing natural stone. Crushing, screening, and washing may be used to process aggregates from either sand and gravel deposits or stone quarries. Aggregates may be produced from igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks, but geological type does not by itself make an aggregate
