Resumen

In engineering focused on construction, the guarantee of a good concrete result depends on the technology used in its elaboration, among which great importance falls on the materials used such as coarse aggregates, either with an angular or rounded contour. To do this, after a systematic review, the results regarding the compressive strength obtained from concretes with different contours mentioned were analyzed. Concluding the evaluation, it is confirmed that the contour of the coarse aggregate does affect the firmness of the concrete, especially the rounded shape, which presented better effects than the corner stone in the tests studied.
