According to the petrological characteristics, concrete aggregates are classified as heavy weight, normal weight and light weight
According to the shape of the particles, concrete aggregates are classified as rounded irregular, angular and flaky
According to the surface texture of the particles, the concrete aggregates are classified as glassy, smooth, granular, rough, crystalline, honey combed and porous

Lean mixes bleed more as compared to rich ones.
Bleeding can be minimized by adding pozzolana finer aggregate
Bleeding can be increased by addition 'of calcium chloride
