AGGREGATE
Aggregate is a broad category of coarse particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and recycled concrete. Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete and asphalt concrete; the aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Aggregates are also used as base material under foundations, roads, and railroads. To put it another way, aggregates are used as a stable foundation or road/rail base with predictable, uniform properties (e.g. to help prevent differential settling under the road or building), or as a lowcost extender that binds with more expensive cement or asphalt to form concrete.

The American Society for Testing and Materials publishes an exhaustive listing of specifications for various construction aggregate products, which, by their individual design, are suitable for specific construction purposes. These products include specific types of coarse and fine aggregate designed for such uses as additives to asphalt and concrete mixes, as well as other construction uses. State transportation departments further refine aggregate material specifications in order to tailor aggregate use to the needs and available supply in their particular locations.

Sources for these basic materials can be grouped into three main areas: Mining of mineral aggregate deposits, including sand, gravel, and stone; use of waste slag from the manufacture of iron and steel; and recycling of concrete, which is itself chiefly manufactured from mineral aggregates. In addition, there are some (minor) materials that are used as specialty lightweight aggregates: clay, pumice, perlite, and vermiculite.

Explanation on the Structure / Grammar Used 1. Jika ada a noun ( a noun phrase) yang diikuti oleh a past participle (Verb 3), ini berarti noun (noun phrase) which is Verb 3 ( .... yang di/ter- ...). Pelajari contoh-contoh berikut ini: Aggregate is a broad category of coarse particulate material used (which is used = yang digunakan) in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and recycled concrete. These products include specific types of coarse and fine aggregate designed (which are designed = yang dirancang) for such uses as additives to asphalt and concrete mixes, as well as other construction uses.

2. Jika ada a noun ( a noun phrase) yang didahului/diterangkan oleh a past participle (Verb
3),

ini berarti a noun (a noun phrase) which is Verb 3.

Pelajari contoh-contoh berikut ini: recycled concrete (concrete which is recycled) renovated houses (houses which are renovated)

3. Be (is/am/are and was/were) yang diikuti oleh a past participle (Verb 3) berarti passive voice yang biasanya diterjemahkan dengan .... di/ter ..... Pelajari contoh-contoh berikut ini: Aggregates are also used ( agregat juga digunakan) as base material under foundations, roads, and railroads. Sources for these basic materials can be grouped (sumber untuk bahan dasar ini bisa dikelompokkan) into three main areas: Mining of mineral aggregate deposits, including sand, gravel, and stone; use of waste slag from the manufacture of iron and

steel; and recycling of concrete, which is itself chiefly manufactured from mineral aggregates. 4. including (termasuk) berarti kata yang mengikutinya merupakan contoh dari kata sebelumnya. Pelajari contoh-contoh berikut ini: Aggregate is a broad category of coarse particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, and recycled concrete. Hal ini berarti katakata: sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, dan recycled concrete merupakan contoh dari coarse particulate material. Mining of mineral aggregate deposits, including sand, gravel, and stone; use of waste slag from the manufacture of iron and steel; and recycling of concrete, which is itself chiefly manufactured from mineral aggregates. Dalam kalimat di atas, kata-kata: sand, gravel, and stone merupakan contoh dari deposits.
