Aggregate

Granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone that are mixed with cement and water to form concrete or added to mortar for strength and bulk. Aggregates typically make up 60-80% of concrete volume and significantly affect its strength, durability, and workability. Fine aggregate (sand) fills voids between coarse aggregate particles and provides workability to the mix.
