Concrete with granite aggregate is a high-strength, durable, and sustainable material that utilizes granite crushed stone or waste as a substitute for traditional aggregates. The granite improves compressive strength (by up to 10%), enhances frost and sulfate resistance, and reduces water absorption, often utilizing a 20-40% replacement ratio for optimal performance.
Limestone aggregate is favored for its excellent bonding properties, high compressive strength, and lower thermal expansion compared to regular gravel. It offers superior durability and reduced cracking in slabs, with angular particles that improve bonding by particle interlocking.
Medium-sized aggregate is a common standard for general-purpose applications like slabs, foundations, and sidewalks. This mix balances strength and workability, often resulting in a “salt and pepper” appearance when polished or exposed, offering a durable and visually appealing surface. The aggregate is typically of gravel or crushed stone between 3/8” (9.5mm) and 3/4” (19mm) in size.
Rounded aggregate, such as river pebbles, provides superior workability and flow, requiring less cement paste and water due to lower surface area and friction. However, it offers lower tensile strength and bonding than angular aggregate due to reduced particle interlocking.
Trap rock is a group of dense, hard, and angular igneous rock (such as basalt or diabase) that create exceptionally durable, high-strength concrete surfaces. The enhanced abrasion-resistance and durability make it suitable for use in heavy-duty industrial floors, loading docks, and high-traffic areas.
