A guide to determining the optimal gradation of concrete aggregates Andersen, Per Just ; Johansen, Vagn
Publication details: Washington DC Strategic Highway Research Program, 1993; SHRP-C-334, Description: 200 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI P1408:334Location: Abstract: The optimal gradation of fine and coarse aggregates for use in the concrete mix can be determined by using a set of tables provided in this report. The tables are based on a computer model for the theoretical packing of spherical particles, which takes into account their size and specific gravity. Use of these tables in conjunction with the American Concrete Institute's ACI Standard Practice 211.1should help produce a more workable mix and a better consolidated hardened concrete with decreased permeability and improved durability.Holdings: VTI P1408:334
