This study is based on the discovery that single size aggregates produced in some parts of Ogun State do not conform to grading requirements specified in relevant building standard and codes of practice. It is an accepted fact that the properties, mix proportion and economy of fresh and hardened concrete is strongly influenced by the properties of coarse aggregate. Samples of 9.5mm, 12.5mm, 19mm and 25mm aggregates were collected from four different quarry sites spread across the state. Laboratory tests were carried out on the Samples of these various sizes obtained from the different quarry sites. The engineering properties considered are Specific Gravities, Water Absorptions, Moisture Contents, Aggregates Impact Value and Aggregates Crushing Value in accordance to the relevant standards. Test results reveals that all the samples conform to relevant building standard and codes of practice. It was therefore concluded that although the aggregates do not conform to grading specification in the code, but the physical and mechanical properties of all the aggregates tested are okay.
