Hi
What are your comments on gap graded grading in regards to concrete properties especially small sized gravel from 4 to 8 mm ? i believe it can decrease the strength since it decreases the density of the concrete and it can increase the risk of shrinkage

As for the smaller aggregate size....when you reduce the coarse aggregate size, the cement content has to be increased because the surface area of the aggregate must be coated with cement paste for adequate bond. Smaller coarse aggregate particles have a higher specific surface than larger coarse aggregate.
