1. Natural Aggregates. Natural aggregates are generally used in a natural state having rock fragments or are used after mechanical processing such as crushing, washing, and sizing. Some natural aggregate deposits known as pit-run gravel consist of gravel and sand that can be easily used in concrete after minimal processing.
· Gravel, cobbles, and boulders are the types of coarse aggregates. They are used depending on the nature of the work. Coarse aggregate provides strength to the concrete. It Is widely used in the casting of slabs, beams, slabs, etc. with 20mm size. Here is the list of the particle sizes of the Coarse aggregates:

· 2.3 Aggregate Types. Aggregates can be classified based on several criteria. They can be separated into light, heavy, or normal aggregates if their unit weights are taken into account. Aggregates are also classified in fine aggregate (sand) or coarse aggregate (gravel) when particle size is considered.
