Abstract

Aggregate occupies about 70 to 80 percent by volume in concrete as skeleton of concrete, but recently, it has been insufficient in quantity to collect good natural aggregate because of exhaustion of aggregate resources. In case of Korea, in 2002, the using ratio of crushed stone occupies about $97\%$ of whole coarse aggregate, and ratio of crushed sand occupies about $18.3\%$ of whole fine aggregate. This is an experimental study to compare and analyze the properties of concrete according to the grading of crushed stone to improve quality and mix design of concrete using crushed stone. According to results, it was found that grading level of crushed stone in the range of G42 to G60 was better than any other grading level in terms of fluidity and compressive strength. And it is considered to be in the range of 6.52 to 6.85 in terms of FM.
