Aggregates coarse

The environmental significance of favourable soil structure lies in an improved resistance to structural soil damage, such as compaction and erosion. Soil structure can be measured by a diverse number of physical parameters, such as the stability of aggregates, coarse pores, air capacity and water holding capacity.

If a plant cmshes to obtain stone of 0.6 and 7.6 cm for lime-kiln feed, coarse aggregate, or fluxstone, much undersized material is also produced. Oversized material can be reduced by recycling through the cmsher system, but the subsized stone, called spall, is wasted in a spall pile. Such spalls have potential value as by-products for use as, eg, asphalt (qv) filler.

Concreteyiggregate. A versatile appHcafion for coarse limestone aggregate is in Pordand cement concrete, either job-mixed or ready-mixed for a wide variety of concrete appHcafions, such as footings, poured foundations, paving, curbs, stmctural products, etc. Limestone sand also provides a satisfactory fine aggregate, but usually it is more cosdy than conventional sand from local pits. 

Railroads also require coarse and fine aggregate of physical strength and durabiHty similar to concrete and roadstone for road beds. Railroads prefer gradation of 19—63.5 mm as coarse aggregate.

On tempering or annealing martensite, bainite or even pearlite at even higher temperatures (about 970K) a structure consisting of coarse cementite spheroids (readily visible in a light microscope) in a ferrite matrix is obtained. This is the most stable of all ferrite/cementite aggregates, and it is also one of the softest.

Concrete is a composite material composed of cement paste with interspersed coarse and fine aggregates. Cement paste is a porous material with pore sizes ranging from nanometers to micrometers in size. The large pores are known as capillary pores and the smaller pores are gel pores (i.e., pores within the hydrated cement gel). These pores contain water and within the water are a wide variety of dissolved ions. The most common pore solution ions are OH", K+ and Na+ with minor amounts of S042" and Ca2+. The microstructure of the cement paste is a controlling factor for durable concrete under set environmental exposure conditions. 

Asphalt concrete is primarily used as a structural pavement surface constructed over a subgrade and a subbase. It is designed to support the traffic load and distribute the load over the roadbed. Asphalt concrete pavements can be constructed using hot mix or cold mix asphalt. Hot mix asphalt is a mixture of tine and coarse aggregate with asphalt cement binder that is mixed, placed, and compacted in a heated condition. Cold mix asphalt is a mixture of emulsified asphalt and aggregate, produced, placed, and compacted at ambient air temperature. Cold mix asphalt pavement usually requires an overlay of hot mix asphalt or surface treatment to resist traffic action.
