The coarse aggregates used for this research were crushed granite chippings quarried from Abeokuta of the Ogun State, Nigeria. The coarse aggregates ranged in size from 4.75 mm to 20 mm. The CCB was obtained from Oko-Oba abattoir of the Agege Local government, Lagos State, Nigeria. The bones had been crushed after
What are aggregates? Aggregates are raw materials that are produced from natural sources and extracted from pits and quarries, including gravel, crushed stone, and sand. When used with a binding medium, like water, cement, and asphalt, they are used to form compound materials, such as asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete.
