Engineering properties of laterite aggregate as coarse aggregate replacement in concrete

The experiment is carried out in order to investigate the properties of laterite aggregate used in producing concrete mix. Laterite aggregate is chosen because it is widely spread in tropical country like Malaysia. The aggregates, which turn up to be strongest and more durable upon exposure to repet...
