All are the particles have insufficient capability to increase workability.

NWAEZE, HUMPHREY said:   1 decade ago
The answer E because all of them are debris i.e unwanted particles, which absorb water thereby decreasing the water content.

Rounded shape of the aggregate is best for high workability.

Jairaj said:   1 decade ago
Rounded shape of the agrt are not suitable for any kind of concrete structure. Because there will not have grip between the concrete constituents.

Ruturaj kurade said:   1 decade ago
This type of particle is lead to reduce workability because surface area is more of these particle.

Triangular shape of aggregate is best for high workability.

Ahir ashok r said:   1 decade ago
Rounded shape particles are the most suitable for the high workability.

Soni kumari said:   1 decade ago
Rounded shape particles are the most suitable for the high workability.

Shubham said:   1 decade ago
Rounded shape particles are the most suitable for the high work-ability, but Triangular shape of aggregate is best for high strength b/c of good bonding between cement paste and aggregates.

How surface area is depended on work ability?
