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
