Aggregates are essential components of concrete They act as inert material in concrete Fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are two main types of aggregate for concreteAs the name indicates they are basically classified depending on the sizes of aggregate particl Fine Aggregate vs Coarse Aggregate read more about recycled aggregates • Recycled Concrete Recycled concrete is created by breaking removing and crushing existing concrete to a preferred size It is commonly used as a base layer for other construction materials Recycled concrete can be used as aggregate in new concrete particularly the coarse portion
