#57 Stone (#4 To 1″, Concrete)
Applications & Uses
#57 Stone for Concrete Applications, Size #4 to 1"
#57 stone in a #4 to 1" size range is a versatile crushed aggregate commonly used in concrete mixes. Produced by crushing and screening natural rock, this material features angular edges that enhance interlock and stability within concrete, improving overall strength and durability.
The #4 to 1" size range ensures optimal compaction and load distribution, making it ideal for structural concrete, foundations, and reinforced slabs. Its angular shape provides excellent bonding with cement paste, reducing voids and increasing the finished product's integrity. #57 stone is also frequently used as a base material for driveways, walkways, and drainage systems due to its reliable drainage properties and resistance to shifting.
Pros include superior drainage, strong load-bearing capacity, and enhanced concrete performance. However, its larger size may make it less suitable for thin or decorative concrete applications where a smoother finish is desired.
