The purpose of these tests was to determine the effect of various fine aggregate gradings, ranging from very fine to very coarse, upon the following properties of concrete containing coarse aggregate graded from the No. 4-sieve size to 6 in. and having a cement content of 2.5 bags per cu yd: bleeding, air-entraining admixture requirements, water-cement ratio, compressive strength, resistance to accelerated freezing and thawing, and drying shrinkage.

Forty mass-concrete mixtures were made with natural sand, 20 containing crushed limestone coarse aggregate and 20 containing natural gravel coarse aggregate. The coarse aggregate was 6-in. maximum size and was processed into eight gradings. Tests were made to determine the degree of suitability of this presently widely used grading formula. (Author).
