Abstract

Aggregate as the main constituent of concrete about 70% to 80 % occupy the total volume of the concrete. They highly affect the both fresh and hardened concrete properties of the concrete. By using of the optimization techniques such as Maximum density line or Power curve, Coarseness factor chart, Fineness modulus and Surface area, the cement content can be reduced, it gives the dense arrangement and improve the properties of the concrete such as workability, durability, compressive strength, etc., this paper is utilize to the normal strength concrete with several mixes by using optimization techniques.
