Although, it has been observed that concretes manufactured with aggregates of different shapes and with a given cement content, can reach similar strengths, some authors ensure that concrete manufactured with rounded and cubic shape aggregates tend to produce higher strengths than those with elongated and flat shapes Shilstone, 1990.
A pesar de que se ha observado que concretos fabricados con agregados con diferentes formas y un contenido de cemento dado pueden alcanzar niveles de resistencia similares, algunos autores aseguran que los concretos producidos con agregados de forma redondeada y cúbica tienden a producir mayores resistencias que agregados alargados y aplanados Shilstone, 1990.
