OTHER TYPES OF
AGGREGATES
Granite Aggregates
-These are crushed hard rock
- Granite rock comes from magma
that erupted and hardened.
Gravel Aggregates
-These are the result of sifting quarried
rock and by crushing natural stone rock.
-used for foundations and concretes
TYPES OF GRAVEL AGGREGATES:
Secondary Aggregates
-comes from crushing construction waste -
concrete, bricks, and asphalt.
