The effect of maximum size of aggregate on concrete strength

As the nominal maximum size of the aggregate is increased, the amount of water needed for the same workability is reduced. At the same cementitious material content, strength is therefore greater because the w/cm is lower. But in the high-strength range, over 40 MPa (5800 psi), higher compressive strengths are usually obtained at a given w/cm ...
