(PDF) Aggregates & its Properties

A slump test was conducted on the fresh mixture for granite, schist, and coarse sandstone aggregates with river sand (fine aggregate) using a water-cement ratio of 0.50; it was observed that granite has a slump value of 35 mm, schist 28 mm, and sandstone 25 mm. Nominal mix (1:2:4) was adopted, and mix compositions were calculated using the ...
