This paper presents the effect of the use of crushed coarse aggregate of different size and qualities, on the mechanical properties of concrete. Concrete mixtures with water/cement ratios of 0.50 and 0.45, with two types of cement, and coarse aggregates of ½” and ¾”, quality A and B, were prepared. Cylindrical specimens (100 mm x 200 mm) were cast and moist-cured for 7 days. The compressive strength and the ultrasonic pulse velocity at different ages were determinate. Results indicate that the size and quality of aggregate affected the mechanical resistance of concrete mixtures.
