5 Main Types of Aggregate Materials
Crushed stone is one of the most common types of aggregate materials. It is made by crushing larger rocks and stones into smaller pieces. The resulting material is angular and varies in size, ranging from fine dust to larger stones. Crushed stone is widely used in road construction, as a base for concrete and asphalt, and in drainage systems.
