The aggregate used. Aggregates constitute more than 90% of concrete and significantly determine the strength of concrete. In this study, the shape characteristics such as flakiness and elongation were determined using elongation and thickness gauge. The aggregate used
In comparison to natural aggregate concrete (NAC), recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) typically exhibits a more diverse composition of materials, heightened variability and greater inherent weaknesses. These characteristics may result in varying effects of specimen size and shape on compressive responses.

Aggregate is separated into seven sieve fractions from 63—6.3mm and each fraction is evaluated separately. Test aggregates must be sieved using sieves with openings of 63, 50, 37.5, 28, 20, 14, 10, and 6.3mm.
The LD slag was processed into two distinct sizes: LD coarse aggregate (LDCA), spanning from 4.75 mm to 20 mm, and LD fine aggregate (LDFA), ranging from below 4.75 mm to 150 microns. The LDCA possessed irregular non-flaky, non-elongated shapes with a smooth surface texture.
