Optimum coarse aggregate content of concrete
Best proportions in which to combine any given coarse and fine aggregates are considered with particular reference to concrete mix design; earlier work, which was restricted to 3/4 in. maximum size of aggregate and used compacting factor test to indicate workability of concrete, is extended to 3/8 in. maximum size of aggregate using Vebe consistometer test; in addition to extending range of curves for use in mix design, test results show that optimum specific volume ratio of coarse aggregate for Vebe consistometer test is similar to that for compacting factor test.
