 The reason for checking more than
one aggregate size is our plans will
call for a large size aggregate (for
example 1.5") but our specifications
will allow for a smaller size aggregate
in which the contactors almost always
opts for.

Concrete bridge patching allows for

either 1" or 3/8" depending on the
3/8" thickness and depth of the repair.

Paving

N/A

Nominal Max sizes are dictated by

form dimensions (not larger than 1/5
the narrowest dimensions between
form sides), slab depths (no larger
than 1/3 the slab depths), and
reinforcing clearances (not larger
than 3/4 the minimum clear distance
between reinforcing bars.)

The maximum aggregate sized for

structural concrete is limited by the
clearance between forms, rebar
and/or slab thickness.
 Maximum aggregate size is one-third
the smallest spacing between
N/A reinforcing steel.
