What is uniformly graded aggregate?

Uniformly graded aggregate consists of particles that are similar in size, leading to a consistent distribution of aggregate sizes within the material. This type of aggregate typically has a narrow range of particle sizes, which can enhance workability and reduce voids in concrete or asphalt mixtures. The uniformity in size can improve the compaction and strength of the final product, making it suitable for specific engineering applications. However, it may also lead to a less efficient packing density compared to well-graded aggregates.
