Aggregates can be defined as the crushed stone which used in concrete. Aggregate in concrete occupied about 70 – 80 % of the total volume which provides the main body to concrete. Aggregate makes concrete strong and durable when mixed with cement, sand, and water.
Crushing old concrete to make aggregate for new concrete is increasing in popularity for several reasons. • Owners want projects to be sustainable and LEED certified. Recycled concrete qualifies for recycled material credits, and because it usually is found locally, it qualifies for local credits.
For smaller discharge sizes, a three-stage crusher can be used, for example, the fine crushing crusher or the roller crusher is used to further crush the ore to less than 10 mm. In the actual production, the suitable crusher can be selected according to the size of the concrete block.
Concrete and other aggregates are usually sized to 2 ft by 2 ft or less. Rebar needs to be cut / sized so as not to tear the crusher belts or bind up the machine. Any debris also needs to be removed. To size and process the materials, TBC utilizes its fleet of excavators equipped with various demolition attachments including hammers and
The source of parent concrete for production of fRCA is indicated as Lab or Field, meaning that fRCA was obtained either from parent concrete specifically produced in the laboratory, with controlled crushing and sieving of the recycled aggregates or from field structures without controlled crushing and sieving.
Retaining Walls. Layering crushed concrete is also a great way to create a retaining wall and control erosion on slopes or hills in your yard. Different sizes of crushed concrete can function together to help prevent erosion. A layer of smaller, more broken-up crushed concrete as a base will contribute to the stability of the wall.
Particle size distribution curves of recycled aggregates from concrete pavement crushed by jaw and impact crushers. The jaw crusher produced 85% coarse aggregates (fraction >4.8 mm), whereas the impact crusher produced 82% coarse aggregates. In both cases, the content of particles finer than 0.15 mm was less than 2% mass.
Coarse aggregates consist of gravel, crushed stone or recycled concrete with particle sizes of ranging from 3/8-inch to 1.5 inches. Coarse aggregates are used in a wide range of construction applications, notably in concrete and asphalt mixes. Common uses for coarse crushed stone. • Concrete aggregate.

shows these limits for fine aggregate and for one size of coarse aggregate. There are several reasons for specifying grading limits and nominal maximum aggregate size; they affect relative. 82. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures EB001. Fig. 5-4. Range of particle sizes found in aggregate for use in concrete. (8985) Fig. 5-5. Making a sieve
The nominal maximum aggregate size shall be 13.2 mm for concrete patches, refacing and overlays 100 , mm or less in thickness. When the thickness of the repair exceeds 100 mm, the nominal maximum aggregate size shall be 19 mm. Grading of the coarse aggregate shall be within the limits shownin Table 4.

#5 – Crushed stone #5 is 1 inch or smaller in size. This material is perfect for road and paver base. #8 – These stones are between 3/8 and 1/2 inch long. It is the most common stone used for concrete mixes. #10 – Crushed stone #10 is known as screenings or dust. Most use this material to create pavers and concrete blocks. Specialty
Properties of Crushed Concrete Aggregate 1. Size of Aggregate Crushed concrete shall be processed to reach suitable sizes. The crushing method (mechanical or manual) of concrete to produce coarse aggregate for the production of new concrete is one of the factors that affect the strength of the concrete.

Herein, the size effect of single-particle crushing of recycled brick and concrete recycled macadam under static load and the fractal characteristics of aggregate under impact load are investigated. The mechanical change law of recycled macadam after compaction crushing under static load is analyzed through single-particle load crushing and impact crushing tests with different particle groups

The jaw crusher produced 85% coarse aggregates (fraction >4.8 mm), whereas the impact crusher produced 82% coarse aggregates. In both cases, the content of particles finer than 0.15 mm was less than 2% mass.
Crushed aggregate is produced by crushing quarry rock, boulders, cobbles, or large-size gravel. Recycled concrete is a viable source of aggregate and has been satisfactorily used in granular subbases, soil-cement, and in new concrete. After harvesting, aggregate is processed: crushed, screened, and washed to obtain proper cleanliness and gradation.
Concrete aggregates are usually divided into two types: uprocessed concrete aggregate and processed aggregate. The former means that the concete waste experiences only crushing process, thus the RCA concrete may contain impurities. Processed concrete aggregate are usually even and fine-sized aggregate. Applications of processed RCA concrete
Crushing waste concrete from construction and demolition projects into aggregates to produce new concrete (recycled aggregate concrete, RAC) represents a method for reducing the carbon dioxide
