    The document discusses different properties of coarse aggregate that influence its bulk density, including size, shape, grading, and specific gravity. It also addresses field and lab tests used to evaluate coarse aggregate and defines flaky and elongated aggregates. Angular or irregularly shaped coarse aggregates contain fewer voids when compacted compared to other shapes. The document asks several questions about sizes of coarse aggregate used for different construction applications like concrete and roads according to BNBC standards, and which aggregate properties promote better workability.
