Preplaced Aggregate Concrete

Preplaced Aggregate Concrete

Preplaced aggregate concrete is more resistive to shrinkage and creep than conventional concrete is. This is due to the aggregate. The net result is more protection against cracking. This type of concrete can be used on numerous types of structures. The cost involved with using preplaced aggregate concrete is likely to be more, but it may be worth it in the long run.

When longitudinal reinforcement is required by design, the welding of stirrups, ties, inserts, and similar elements is not allowed.
