... The research focused on the characteristics of coarse aggregates, but also considered the characteristics of fine aggregates. Scope of Study This study included collecting and reviewing information relative to the effects of shape, texture, and angularity characteristics of aggregate on the performance of HMA and hydraulic cement concrete mixtures, and unbound materials used in highway pavements.
