  2. Bulk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_density

    The bulk density of soil depends greatly on the mineral make up of soil and the degree of compaction. [3] The density of quartz is around 2.65 g/cm 3 but the (dry) bulk density of a mineral soil is normally about half that density, between 1.0 and 1.6 g/cm 3.

  3. Construction aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_aggregate

    In Europe, sizing ranges are specified as d/D, where the d shows the smallest and D shows the largest square mesh grating that the particles can pass. Application-specific preferred sizings are covered in European Standard EN 13043 for road construction, EN 13383 for larger armour stone, EN 12620 for concrete aggregate, EN 13242 for base layers of road construction, and EN 13450 for railway ...

  4. Gravel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravel

    The bulk density of gravel varies from 1,460 to 1,920 kg/m 3 ... Used for concrete surfaces, walkways, driveways and as a substrate in home aquariums.

  5. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  6. Aggregate (composite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_(composite)

    Aggregates are generally added to lower the amount of binders needed and to increase the strength of composite materials. Sand and gravel are used as construction aggregate with cement to make concrete and increase its mechanical strength. [1] Aggregates make up 60-80% of the volume of concrete and 70-85% of the mass of concrete.

  7. Expanded clay aggregate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_clay_aggregate

    Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) or expanded clay (exclay) is a lightweight aggregate made by heating clay to around 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) in a rotary kiln. The heating process causes gases trapped in the clay to expand, forming thousands of small bubbles and giving the material a porous structure.

  8. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

    Unlike air-entrained concrete, which introduces tiny air bubbles through an admixture during mixing, foam concrete replaces coarse aggregates with these air bubbles, resulting in a significant difference in density, with foam concrete typically ranging from 400 kg/m3 to 1600 kg/m3, whereas air-entrained concrete maintains its density. Foam ...

  9. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    However, it has been shown that, depending on species and the size of their aggregates (faeces), earthworms may either increase or decrease soil bulk density. [50] A lower bulk density by itself does not indicate suitability for plant growth due to the confounding influence of soil texture and structure. [51] A high bulk density is indicative ...
