What is the relation between the Coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete and the coefficient of thermal expansion in aggregates?

What is the relation between the Coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete and the coefficient of thermal expansion in aggregates? Correct Answer Directly proportional

The coefficient of thermal expansion refers to either expansion or contraction of a material with temperature. The coefficient of thermal expansion rises in tandem with aggregates’ coefficient of thermal expansion, and vice versa.

Permeability in concrete is studied towards providing for, or guarding against, which of the following features? 1. The penetration by materials in solution may adversely affect the durability of concrete; moreover, aggressive liquids 'attack' the concrete. 2. In the case of reinforced concrete, ingress of moisture and air will result in corrosion of steel leading to an increase in the volume of steel, resulting in cracking and swilling of the concrete cover. 3. The moisture penetration depends on permeability and if the concrete can become saturated with water it is less vulnerable to frost action.
