Answer Posted / sagar sontakke

No,Aggregate size is indipendent of concrete grade.we can
use still higher size of aggregate.aggregate size is
depending on the minimum cover & spacing of reinforcement
in the structures like beam,retaining wall,column etc.This
is so because aggregate should pass through the two bars.

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
