The effect of concrete composition and aggregates properties on performance of concrete

The properties of the hardened concrete depend on the selected raw materials: size and amount of the particles of coarse aggregate, as well as on the ratio of other components. Particular countries use various methodologies for the selection of concrete composition to select the components of the c...
