Can We Truly Predict the Compressive Strength of Concrete without Knowing the Properties of Aggregates?

Can We Truly Predict the Compressive Strength of Concrete without Knowing the Properties of Aggregates?

This paper is focused on the influence of the geological nature and quality of the aggregates on the compressive strength of concrete and explains why it is important not to ignore the characteristics of aggregates in the estimation of the strength of concrete, even for virgin aggregates. For this p...
