What’s on the Aggregates poster
A 6-row table: Property · Why it matters.
Every property here changes the water the mix demands.
- Grading — Packing, workability, cement demand
- Shape and texture — Bond, and the water needed
- Maximum size — Cover, bar spacing, pumpability
- Fines and clay content — More water, less strength
- Absorption — Shifts the effective w/c ratio
- Alkali reactivity — Long-term expansion and cracking
Educational reference. Aggregate compliance is tested to the governing standard and stated in the specification.

- Who is the Aggregates poster for?
- Aggregates belongs to the Civil Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning civil materials can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Aggregates poster?
- Diagnosing a mix that is harsh, thirsty, segregating or cracking. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Aggregates belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Aggregates?
- Bituminous Materials, Cement Types and Curing sit alongside Aggregates in the Civil Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Bituminous MaterialsCement TypesCuring
- Is the Aggregates poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Aggregates downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Civil Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Aggregates poster print at?
- Aggregates is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Aggregates loses nothing.Printing guide
