Expert Solution
Step 1
Aggregates is useful in construction as a major material for the proper mix of concrete and strength of it. In such a way the shape and the other properties are mainly useful and concerning in the aggregate.
The mixing of the proportion of the material in the making of concrete also needs to be careful during the construction. Thus by taking all these measures into mind we can easily make proper and perfect concrete by use of aggregate.
