Properties of Heavy Concrete Made with Barite Aggregates
Barite aggregate behaves in concrete similarly to an ordinary crushed aggregate such as limestone or basalt, and no special problems were encountered in selecting and proportioning the constituents of the concretes. Exceptionally high compressive strengths were developed by conventional barite concrete.

2015-12-1 Evidently, the concrete mixes made of barite aggregate (B1, B2 and B3) give the highest slump values; whereas the concrete mixes containing serpentine aggregate (S1, S2 and S3) give the lowest values. The differences in slump values are mainly due to the differences in the rate of water absorption for the aggregates.

Heavyweight Aggregates for Heavyweight Concrete
There are different types of minerals in composition of the heavyweight aggregate which includes either synthetic or natural. The compositions of natural mineral aggregates are dominated by minerals like magnetite, hematite, serpentine, ilmenite, and barite. Examples of synthetic aggregates include steel, iron, boron frit, Ferrophosphorus.
