The Effect of Aggregate Properties on Concrete Concrete is a mixture of cementious material aggregate and water Aggregate is commonly considered inert filler which accounts for 60 to 80 percent of the volume and 70 to 85 percent of the weight of concrete This surface moisture on the fine aggregate creates a thick film over the surface
