Maximum size of aggregate was shown to have a great effect on frost resistance. For example, the 1/4 in. maximum aggregate size specimens showed expansions during freezing, only when the water-cement ratio was as high as 0.60, while 3/4 in. maximum aggregate specimens showed expansions at a water-cement ratio as low as 0.45.

For beam C-16 with small maximum aggregate size, the maximum FPZ is formed at 47.67% of the post peak, and at 38.26% of the post peak for the C-25 beam with larger maximum aggregate size, which means a delay in the formation of maximum FPZ in concrete with large aggregate sizes.

Coarse Aggregate Content. Using the coarse aggregate content table with the given nominal maximum aggregate size of 37.5 mm (1.5 inches) and the given fine aggregate fineness modulus of 2.80, the recommended volume fraction of coarse aggregate is 0.71. This means that the coarse aggregate should occupy 71 percent of the total volume. However, this volume of …

As the nominal maximum size of the aggregate is increased, the amount of water needed for the same workability is reduced. At the same cementitious material content, strength is therefore greater because the w/cm is lower. But in the high-strength range, over 40 MPa (5800 psi), higher compressive strengths are usually obtained at a given w/cm ...
