What is a coarse aggregate?

An aggregate which passes through 80mm sieve and retained on 4.75mm sieve are known as coarse aggregate

 

[Prakash Joshi]

An aggregate have size more than 4.75 mm is coarse aggregate

 

[Pankaj Sharma]

Aggregate is a broad category of coarse to medium grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates. Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete. The aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Aggregates are also used as base material under foundations, roads, and railroads.
Aggregate are of two types:-
1. Coarse aggregate
2. Fine aggregate

Coarse aggregate are of size varies from 4.75 mm to 80 mm which are categorised further as :
1. Aggregate size 80mm - 40mm
2. Aggregate size 40mm - 20mm
3. Aggregate size 20mm - 4.75mm

 

[Chandrakant Dodakatti]

Which passed by 80mm Sieve and retained at 4.75mm

 

[shafi12344]

According to ASTM C 125 Aggregate predominantly retained on the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve or that portion of an
aggregate retained on the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve

 

[Dnyan Deshmukh]

As many said, aggregate retaining on 4.75 mm sieve and passing through 80 mm sieve termed as coarse aggregates.
