Concrete Production. Fine aggregate is an essential ingredient in the production of concrete. When mixed with cement and water, it forms a paste that binds together the coarse aggregates, such as gravel or crushed stone, to create a strong and durable structure. Fine aggregate fills the voids between the coarse aggregates, which improves the ...

It is known that 50% of recycled aggregate is fine aggregate, however its use is still limited. In this research work the use of recycled fine aggregates for Controlled Low Strength Materials (CLSMs) production was analysed. Self-compacting and flowable CLSM material was composed of cement, fine aggregates, water and an air-entrained admixture.

Lightweight aggregate (LWA) is a kind of porous material, including coarse aggregate with a bulk density of less than 1100 kg/m 3 and fine aggregate with a bulk density of less than 1200 kg/m 3 (Ma et al., 2019). LWA is mainly used to reduce the unit mass of concrete and to increase the thermal insulation of buildings.
