The effect of aggregate grading on concrete strength Q How does the grading of the aggregates affect the strength of concrete A When the wcm is the same and the mixtures are plastic and workable considerable changes in grading will not have a large effect on concrete strengthThe principal effect of changing the aggregate grading is to change the amount of cementitious material
Jan 06 2016 most readymix concrete producers use their own methods hire a testing lab or rely on a vendor these methods often include a concept of ideal gradation from fullers maximum density curve the 45 power curve 818 gap grading to the latest tarantula the aggregate gradation has a major impact on performance
