Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed. Crushed aggregate is produced by crushing quarry rock, boulders, cobbles, or large-size gravel. Recycled concrete is a viable source of aggregate and has been satisfactorily used in granular subbases, soil-cement, and in new concrete.

Crushed Stone: The Unsung Mineral Hero: Crushed stone is often looked upon as one of the lowliest of commodities, however it is used for such a wide variety of purposes in so many industries that it should be elevated to a position of distinction.

SAND. The sand to be used in making concrete must, above all things, be coarse and clean. Coarse sand, varying in the size of the grains, is generally clean and dense, and, therefore, produces a denser and stronger concrete than fine, light sand. Drift sand makes very weak concrete, while dirty sand weakens the mortar and often delays its setting.

Concrete strength also comes into play, but most slab concrete is around 3000 to 4000 psi, so it's not a major factor. The tensile strength of concrete is typically taken as 10 to 15% of the compressive strength, so only about 400 or 500 psi. Compare that to the tensile strength of Grade 60 rebar, which is 60,000 psi.
