Concrete with granite aggregate
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.
