Material for Civil Engineering aggregates hra
Definition Materials (for construction) Inert material which, when bound together into a conglomerated mass by a matrix, form: -concrete, -mastic mortar, -plaster. An aggregation of sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag or other material composition used in combination with a binding medium to form: -bituminous and Portland cement, -concrete, -macadam, -mastic, -mortar cement, -plaster, or alone as: -railroad ballast, -filter beds, and -various manufacturing processes such as fluxing hra
Natural Aggregate Classification Manufactured Aggregate hra
Natural Aggregates • Taken from natural deposits without change in their nature during production, with the exception of crushing, sizing, grading or washing • Includes: • pumice, • shells, • iron ore, • lime rock hra
Manufactured Aggregates • Aggregates produced as a direct product, rather than as a by-product of a manufacturing process • Includes: • Blast furnace slag • Clay • Shale; • Light weightaggregates hra
Synthetic – Artificial Aggregates • By-product of an industrial process • Product of process developed to manufactured aggregate with special properties • Reclaimed or waste construction materials hra
Classification based on Size • FINE Aggregate passing 9.5mm (3/8”) sieve, passing sieve no 4 (4.75mm) and predominantly retained on 75u (no 200) sieve Aggregate passing no 4 and retained on the no 200 (75um) sieve • COARSE Aggregate predominantly retained on the no 4 sieve (for Portland Cement Concrete) The no 8 or no 10 sieve (for bituminous concrete) hra
Composition & Structures • Natural Aggregates • Consist of naturally occurring material of mineral composition • Derived from rocks with single mineral or several different mineral hra
IGNEOUS ROCK NATURAL AGGREGATES SEDIMENTARY ROCK METAMORPHIC ROCK hra
Composition & Structures • IGNEOUS ROCK • COOL MELTING FORMED (ABOVE OR BELOW THE EARTH’S SURFACE) • CONSISTS OF CRYSTAL OR MINERALS IN A CRYSTALLINE (OR GLOSSY) MATRIX • SIZE IS A FUNCTION OF COOLING RATE hra
Composition & Structures • SEDIMENTARY ROCK • FORMED BY THE CONSOLIDATION OF DEPOSITS, - WEATHERING PRODUCTS AND EROSION OF ROCKS (EARTH SURFACE) • LESS MECHANICAL COMPACTIONS hra
Composition & Structures • METAMORPHIC ROCK • FORMED BY THE APPLICATION OF INTENSE HEAT AND PRESSURE TO SEDIMENTARY ROCKS • LESS POROUS, STRONG MATRIX (RECRYSTALLIZATION) • STRONGED AND LESS ANISOTROPIC COMPACTED TO SEDIMENTARY ROCKS hra
Principles and Procedures • The use and process: • QUALITY : high (estimate) • COST : low (estimate) • The procedures: • Excavation • Transportation • Washing • Crushing • Sizing hra
procedures Processing plant Site Excavator: digging Removal of organic material (silt; clay; leaves; mud) Method: blasting; dragging; pumping Transportation (truck, rail, conveyor belt) Washing : before and/or after hra
Sizing and screening • Sizing: by crusher • Proper and desirable size • Crusher type: • size of designed aggregate Sieve : vibratory screen Set of sieves with designated diameter hra
