How Coarse Aggregate Affects Mix Design of Concrete?
5. Aggregate Absorption. Aggregate absorption is used for applying a correction factor for aggregates in dry condition and determining water demand for concrete in saturated surface dry condition. Aggregate can absorb water up to 2 % by weight when in bone dry state. However, in some cases, the aggregate absorption can be as high as 5%.

Aggregates In Concrete
In construction terms, aggregate refers to granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone. These components, when combined with cement and water, give birth to what we commonly know as concrete. A key point to remember is that aggregate constitutes about 60-75% of concrete's total volume.

Fine Aggregate for Concrete: 3 Classification, Properties and
Answer: Fine aggregate is used in concrete to serve two purposes, 1. Provides a filler for the spaces between the coarse aggregates (like gravel or crushed stone) in a concrete mix. 2. This helps to reduce the void content in the concrete mixture, enhancing the overall compactness and workability of the material.
