This experimental study is focused on the aggregate gradation impact on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. For the experiment, 9 mix design were prepared with the constant content of cement, effective water, plasticizer and aggregate. The variable factor is represented by different proportions of 4 fraction (0/0.7, 0/4,4/8, 8/16). Consistency by slump and flow table in time, compressive strength, water absorption and density were measured. Some significant differences were observed. Consistency by the slump test varied from 0 to 170 mm after 5 minutes and from 0 to 50 mm after 30 minutes of concrete mixing. Consistency by flow table varied from 340 to 530 mm after 5 minutes and 320 to 460 mm after 30 minutes. Standard compressive strength varied from 50.8 to 61.6 MPa. Water absorption varied between 4.7 and 5.9 mass % and density from 2380 to 2440 kg.m~(-3).
