1. Materials of essentially mineral origin
1.1 Base materials
Aggregates used in mortar and concrete are called fines, sand, gravel, pebbles and gravels depending on their dimensions, which vary from 0 to 80 mm (XP P 18-540)
Granularity is the size distribution of grains. This is determined by particle size analysis or granulometry. Standard P 18-560 uses a series of sieves to determine the granularity of aggregates with dimensions ranging...
