Every construction project begins with a foundation. Whether your constructing a parking lot, driveaway, or sidewalk, The Foundation of the infrastructure requires high-quality aggregate. Aggregates are a raw material used extensively in the construction of concrete, tiles, bridges and beyond.  The Features of Aggregate - size, shape and gradation: Cement Aggregate occupies the majority of the volume in concrete. When you mix in aggregates, It is what pastes together the cement. It is also what changes the look and feel of the surface. The aesthetic of aggregates affects the concretes of the countertop. Moreover, the size and gradation of aggregates are important. Size can range from small fine sand to large first-sized rocks.  There are generally three types of aggregate gradations:  Gap Graded: this type of aggregate has coarse aggregate particles that are similar in size but vary in size from the fine aggregate. It pieces together the large aggregate and the fine aggregate. Poorly

Aluminium was expensive and generally unavailable for architectural use until the early 20th century. The use of aluminium in buildings increased in the 1920s, primarily for decorative detailing. In Construction applications, aluminium first approved in roofing, flashing and wall panels and spandrels (the space between arches and structure enclosures). The first extensive use of aluminium in construction occurred in the empire state building (1930-1932).  Advantages of Aluminium as a Construction Material: The Following are some important characteristics of aluminium as a construction material. High strength weight ratio: Fuel savings are enormous which makes it advantageous to use for transportation. High corrosion resistance safety against attack from insects  Aesthetic appearance capacity to stand with low temperature Ease of fabrication and assembly Good noise control High reflectivity Uses of aluminium in building construction: It has many industrial applications such as casting,
