THE USE IN MASS CONCRETE OF AGGREGATE OF LARGE MAXIMUM SIZE

CHARACTERISTICS OF MASS CONCRETE AND THE METHODS WHICH HAVE BEEN USED TO OBTAIN A WATER-TIGHT, DURABLE, AND STABLE STRUCTURE WITH ECONOMICAL MIX PROPORTIONS ARE REVIEWED. THE CHOICE AND PREPARATION OF AGGREGATES, THE IMPORTANCE OF AGGREGATE GRADING, THE USE OF AIR ENTRAINMENT, THE CONTROL OF CONCRETE PRODUCTION, AND METHODS OF SPECIFYING AND TESTING THE PROPERTIES OF THE CONCRETE ARE DISCUSSED.
