Miningsolution on Instagram: "Aggregate Shape Myth: Does "Angular = Stronger" Concrete? Many believe angular aggregates provide superior interlock for stronger concrete. While true in a dry, static state, this overlooks the full reality of modern concrete production. 🧱 The Paradox Explained Concrete must first flow, then harden. Here’s the trade-off: ✔ Rounded Aggregates (e.g., natural sand/gravel): Act like ball bearings, improving workability. Require less water for target slump. Enable a low

@marliefarris and @parkerchristian74 in our UpTerra fields doing a slake test to measure aggregate stability. Aggregate stability is crucial because it reflects soil health. Soils with good aggregate stability are more resilient against erosion and support life by improving water infiltration, aeration, nutrient cycling, and root growth. These factors lead to more productive and sustainable land. #soilhealth #upterra #betterwater@Marlie Farris
