Both gravel and crushed stone are generally acceptable for making quality concrete Photo 9 although gravel is usually preferred for exposed aggregate The use of recycled concrete crushed to proper size concrete aggregate has also demonstrated successful performanceJan 24 32 By the CT 382 definition the maximum aggregate size is 3/4 and the nominal maximum aggregate size is 1/2 In the November version of CT 202 nominal maximum aggregate size is defined as one sieve size larger than the first size to retain more than 10 By this definition the nominal maximum aggregate size for the material example
