Strength - Pennsylvania State University
To obtain high strength concrete, coarse aggregate size is usually held to a maximum size of 19 mm, but additional cement is required for the additional surface area. The fine aggregate can generally contain less material passing 300 um and 150 um sieve because of the higher cement content.

ACI 211.1: Maximum Aggregate Size For Concrete Mix Design
In practice the dimensions of the forms or the spacing of the rebars controls the maximum coarse aggregate size. ACI 211.1 states that the maximum coarse aggregate size should not exceed: 1) one-fifth of the narrowest dimension between sides of forms, 2) one-third the depth of slabs, 3) 3/4-ths of the minimum clear spacing between individual ...

Fine Aggregate in Concrete Mix Design: Types and Classification
2023.4.4 The size of fine aggregate is defined as equal to or less than 4.75 mm. This means that the aggregates that can pass through a number 4 sieve with a mesh size of 4.75 mm are referred to as fine aggregates. These include clay, silt, and sand. Crushed gravel and crushed stone can also fall under this category.

Which size of aggregate used in RCC structure?
For mass concrete dams up to 150 mm is used. For shotcretes 8 mm is used. It depends on the structure, whether there are steel reinforcement bars provided or it is plain concrete. For concrete slabs with reinforcement as in bridge decks, roof slabs and columns, and prestressed concrete members, 16 - 20 mm is the MSA (maximum size of aggregate).

Answered: What is your recommendation for the bartleby
What is your recommendation for the maximum size of coarse aggregate for the following situation? A continuously reinforced concrete pavement cross section contains a layer of No. 6 reinforcing bars at 6-in. centers, such that the steel is just above mid-depth of a 10-in. thick slab. Cover over the top of the steel is therefore about 4 in. BUY.
