Abstract
This paper attempts to develop the best aggregate blends and investigates the effect of aggregate packing on concrete performance through multiple criteria based on simulation and experiments. It was demonstrated that the aggregate packing can be used as a tool to optimize concrete mixtures and improve compressive strength. The correlation between the grading, packing of aggregates and concrete performance is developed. The grading techniques based on power curves and coarseness chart provide valuable information on expected performance and, therefore, can be effectively used to optimize the concrete mixtures.
