GLOSSARY OF TERMS RELATING TO
CEMENT CONCRETE
PART I CONCRETE AGGREGATES

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 25 February 1972, after the draft finalized by the Cement
and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Cement concrete is one of the most versatile and extensively used
building materials in all civil engineering constructions. There are a
number of technical terms connected with the basic materials for concrete
as well as the production and use of concrete which quite often require
clarification to give precise meaning to the stipulations in the standard
specifications, codes of practices and other technical documents. It has,
therefore, become necessary to standardize the various terms and defini-
tions used in cement and concrete technology and thus avoid ambi-
guity in their interpretations. The Sectional Committee has, therefore,
decided to bring out a series of glossaries of terms relating to concrete
and concrete materials.

0.3 For convenience of reference, the Indian Standard glossary of terms

relating to cement concrete has been grouped into the following twelve
parts:

Part I Concrete aggregates

Part II Materials ( other than cement and aggregate )
Part III Concrete reinforcement
Part IV Types of concrete
Part V Formwork for concrete
Part VI Equipment, tools and plant
Part VII Mixing, laying, compaction, curing and other
construction aspects
Part VIII Properties of concrete
Part IX Structural aspects
Part X Tests and testing apparatus

IS:6461 (PartI)- -

Part XI Prestressed concrete

Part XII Miscellaneous
0.3.1 In addition to the above, two separate standards have been
brought out concerning terminology relating to hydraulic cement and
pozzolanic materials. These standards are IS : 4845-1968* and IS :
4305-1967t.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in additidn to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country. This has been met by deriving assistance from the
following publications:
BS 2787 : 1956 Glossary of terms for concrete and reinforced concrete.
British Standards Institution.
BS 4340 : 1968 Glossary of formwork of terms. British Standards
Institution.
ASTM Designation : C 125 Definitions of terms relating to concrete
aggregate. American Society for Testing and Materials.
ACI No. SP-19 ( 1967 ) Cement and concrete terminology. American
Concrete Institute.
AC1 617-1968 Recommended practice for concrete formwork.
American Concrete Institute.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part I ) covers definitions of terms relating to aggre-
gates for cement concrete.

2. DEFINITIONS
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply,

2.1 Absorption -- The process by which a liquid is drawn into and tends
to fill permeable pores in a porous solid body; also, the increase in weight
of a porous solid body resulting from the penetration of a liquid into its
permeable pores.
NOTE- In the case of concrete and concrete aggregates, unless otherwise stated, the
liquid involved is water, the increase in weight is that which does not include water
adhering to the outside surface, the increase in weight is expressed as a percentage of
the dry weight of the body and the body is considered to be ‘ dry ’ when it has been
treated by an appropriate process to remove uncombined water, such as drying to
constant weight at a temperature between 100 and 110°C.

*Definitions and terminology relating to hydraulic cement.

tGlossary of terms relating to pozzolana.

4
 IS : 6461 ( Part I ) - 1972
