    1.1.1 Aggregates and sands

    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) [26] .

    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...
