Aggregate Texture and Shape, What You Should Know
The characterization of aggregate shape properties can make the difference between poor performance in roads and structures or long useful service life. In just a few examples: Sharp, angular aggregate shapes and textures add strength to hardened concrete but increase the water demand during batching to maintain workability during placement.
