Assessing the Effect of Hand Crushed, Machine Crushed and River Coarse Aggregates on Concrete Properties.
This research delved into the comparative analysis of concrete production by utilizing three distinct types of coarse aggregates: machine-crushed, hand-crushed, and river-sourced. The research aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties, durability, and structural integrity of concrete when each typ...

| description | This research delved into the comparative analysis of concrete production by utilizing three distinct types of coarse aggregates: machine-crushed, hand-crushed, and river-sourced. The research aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties, durability, and structural integrity of concrete when each type of aggregate is employed. By conducting a series of standardized tests, including compressive strength, tensile strength, and slump tests, the study sought to ascertain the influence of aggregate type on the concrete's performance. Furthermore, the environmental impact of sourcing and processing these materials is considered, providing a comprehensive overview of the sustainability aspect of concrete production. The findings of this research could have significant implications for the construction industry, potentially leading to more cost-effective and environmentally friendly practices. The study's methodology, results, and conclusions will contribute valuable insights into the optimization of concrete mix designs for various construction applications. |
