    Aggregates are natural or manufactured materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, and recycled concrete and asphalt that are mixed to form concrete or asphalt. They provide stability, drainage, and strength when used as a base under foundations and pavements or as a filler in concrete and asphalt. Aggregates are classified geologically as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks and their properties determine appropriate uses including shape, texture, soundness, and reactivity.
