Concrete mix is the mixture of cement, sand, water and coarse aggregates is integral to the construction process. Durable concrete construction requires selection of the best quality construction mate...rials. The coarse aggregate should be well graded and free from Alkali reactivity. The sand should be free from silt, salt, moisture and gravel and its fineness modulus should be between 2.6 and 2.9. So it is very important to be cautious while selecting the right aggregate for your home construction. • When you build your home ensure that the sand being used us clean i.e. it should be free of salt, soil, and garbage as these will hamper the quality of sand. • The coarse aggregates should be free from salt, chemicals, and clay. • The aggregates should be long and flat. • Good quality aggregates soak less water and you can ask an engineer for its mineral composition. • During construction the water being used should be clean and free from salts and minerals.
