Construction aggregate, or simply aggregate, is a broad category of coarse- to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world. Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete and asphalt; the aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Due to the relatively high hydraulic conductivity value as compared to most soils, aggregates are widely used in drainage applications such as foundation and French drains, septic drain fields, retaining wall drains, and roadside edge drains. Aggregates are also used as base material under foundations, roads, and railroads. In other words, aggregates are used as a stable foundation or road/rail base with predictable, uniform properties (e.g. to help prevent differential settling under the road or building), or as a low-cost extender that binds with more expensive cement or asphalt to form concrete. Although most kinds of aggregate require a form of binding agent, there are types of self-binding aggregate which do not require any form of binding agent. In Europe, sizing ranges are specified as d/D, where the d shows the smallest and D shows the largest square mesh grating that the particles can pass. Application-specific preferred sizings are covered in European Standard EN 13043 for road construction, EN 13383 for larger armour stone, EN 12620 for concrete aggregate, EN 13242 for base layers of road construction, and EN 13450 for railway ballast. The American Society for Testing and Materials publishes an exhaustive listing of specifications including ASTM D 692 and ASTM D 1073 for various construction aggregate products, which, by their individual design, are suitable for specific construction purposes. These products include specific types of coarse and fine aggregate designed for such uses as additives to asphalt and concrete mixes, as well as other construction uses. State transportation departments further refine aggregate material specifications in order to tailor aggregate use to the needs and available supply in their particular locations. Sources for these basic materials can be grouped into three main areas: mining of mineral aggregate deposits, including sand, gravel, and stone; use of waste slag from the manufacture of iron and steel; and recycling of concrete, which is itself chiefly manufactured from mineral aggregates. In addition, there are some (minor) materials that are used as specialty lightweight aggregates: clay, pumice, perlite, and vermiculite. (en)
Toeslagmateriaal (granulaat) (lat: granum of korrel) is een van de hoofdbestanddelen van onder andere mortel (voor beton) en grout. In Nederland en België wordt het toeslagmateriaal normaal gesproken gevormd door zand en grind, maar afhankelijk van de eisen die gesteld worden aan het beton, en de beschikbaarheid van materialen ter plekke, kunnen er ook stoffen zoals basalt, graniet, kalksteen, kwarts, puin, slak en dergelijke in verwerkt zitten. Gewone mortel bestaat voor ongeveer 75% uit toeslagmateriaal. In betoncentrales wordt bij de samenstelling van het toeslagmateriaal gelet op de korrelgrootte van het materiaal en de zeefkromme, om een zo sterk mogelijk materiaal te verkrijgen. (nl)
Agregados de Construção Civil são materiais com forma e volume aleatórios detentores de dimensões e propriedades adequadas para a elaboração de concreto e argamassa na construção civil. Têm um custo relativamente reduzido, sendo este um dos motivos para a sua utilização. Os agregados com emprego constante na construção civil são a areia e a brita. A denominação agregado tem substituído o termo inerte, utilizado anteriormente por acreditar-se que esses materiais não tomavam parte nas reações de pega e endurecimento do cimento.Atualmente, sabe-se que eles podem influenciar nessas transformações, haja vista que têm propriedades influentes nesse caso, dentre as quais absorção, densidade e dureza, apesar dessa reatividade seja praticamente nula.
