This document summarizes test results for concrete aggregate quality, including percentages of material retained on various sieve sizes, lightweight pieces in fine aggregate, potential problem rock types, and an example calculation of weighted average. Key metrics reported include percentages of shale, material passing the #200 sieve, and spalling rock types. Sieve analysis results for the coarse aggregate are also provided.
