USES OF AGGREGATES
There are many ways aggregates can be used especially in construction. For
example, in roads and railways, aggregates resist the overall load present,
also helps to distribute the loads to the ground and drain the water off the
surface. When it comes to concrete mixture, aggregates help in
strengthening it. They can also be used in water filtration and sewage
treatment processes.
