Aggregate Blending via Robust Linear Programming
Aggregate blending is a problem frequently encountered in the construction industry. In this article, it is shown that robust linear programming can be used to produce solutions protected against noisy data with the same computational complexity of the classic optimization methods for the problem. ...

Implementation of concrete aggregate optimization
The process of determining the optimum combination of aggregates, or optimized aggregate blend, is dependent on the target gradation, which depends on the percentages of aggregate retained on the pan, 0.075-mm (No. 200) sieve, and the top sieve in the actual combined aggregate gradation.
