| Abstract | In our society today most of the aggregates that were used for concrete work were usually abandoned on site for some times with minimum of 6 month or more due to different factors as it may apply. Some which might be due to lack of fund by the client and tussles. This abandonment led to a situation where construction materials are piled onsite over a range of periods of time. These materials are left dormant and exposed to harsh weathering conditions before utilization. This study accessed the effects of aggregates dormancy on its properties quality when use. The study was carried out in three calendar years (2015, 2016 and 2017) to check weathering activities on dormant aggregates. Experimental procedures such as Sieve analysis, silt content, specific gravity, water absorption and compressive strength test were carried out on these aggregates to determine its quality of performance on the product (building). Based on the duration of aggregate on site, it was observed that the strength of concrete produced from the aggregates increased and the aggregates were coarser when exposed to the weather. The study concluded that due to slight changes in compressive strength over the years, dormant aggregate has no negative effect on concrete strength and quality of structural components but it is advised that any procured aggregates meant for construction should be totally free from clay and silt contents. This will enhance the concrete strength and also accelerate its setting time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
