Background: As we know that the concrete is made up of the water, cement and aggregate, out of which the aggregate covers more than 3/4th part alone. Majority part is of aggregate and the quality of aggregate definitely going to affect the parameters such as strength, durability and various characteristics of concrete. Now a days due to high demand good quality aggregate barely available to nearby supplier. Aggregate can be broadly classified into two categories i.e., Fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate. Coarse aggregate majorly obtained from crushed stone by crusher the probability of getting impurities from coarse aggregate to concrete reduces. Fine aggregate may have various impurities such as fine particles clay and silt.
Scope and approach: This review paper describes the various impurities and several effects of those impurities in fine aggregate on the strength of concrete. Several experiments are already performed by the researcher main aim is to combine those results output and summarise it.
Key finding and conclusion: There are several standards suggested by Indian Standards if they are in within the limits then need not to take any action, but the limit exceeds then action such as washing of aggregate need to be taken. Impurities like clay and silt (fine particle) affects the strength of concrete and can also can cause severe damage.
