Abstract:The purpose of this study is to estimate the properties of concrete in consideration of distribution of coarse aggregate quality. The properties of several particles of coarse aggregates and the properties of small specimens, which contain one coarse aggregate each, were measured. In addition, the estimation method of compressive strength and freezing and thawing resistance of concrete was constructed using Rigid-Bodies-Spring Model. The propriety of the estimation method was confirmed qualitatively. Key Words:Coarse aggregate, Compressive strength, Freezing and thawing, RBSM
