Aggregate size and grading guide
Aggregate selection starts with the application. Concrete aggregate must suit the mix, section thickness and spacing between reinforcement. A sub-base needs a crushed, well-graded material that can compact and interlock. Drainage normally needs clean material with enough void space for water movement.
Do not choose aggregate only by appearance or load price. Send the specification when one exists; otherwise describe the element or layer being built so the quotation can identify the intended use clearly.
