    I. Introduction Aggregates contribute to 60-80% of a concrete mix‚ with water and cement being the other major constituents. Therefore considerable testing and consideration should be placed on aggregate type and size to ensure an adequate concrete mix. Two tests have been performed to establish the properties of the aggregates: 1. Compacted bulk density test 2. Sieve analysis II Testing For Compacted Bulk Density Objectives * To determine the specific bulk densities of a range

    areas are shown in Figure. Even if two surfaces have a similar albedo‚ the incident energy does not always result in similar temperatures because the thermal capacity of those surfaces may differ. Concrete‚ which is used as construction material extensively all around the world‚ has many benefits. Concrete has an albedo value ranging from 0.1 to 0.35. These values are higher than those of some other materials‚ and it is also lighter in colour. Factors that cause a higher temperature in urban areas:
