Also bricks have much water absorption (10 to 20%) which is much higher than stones (1 to 2%). While compacting the concrete with rammer it will break into pieces which will further reduce the strength of concrete. So using stone coarse aggregate will be a good option as for as column concreting is considered. 1k Views

Mar 30, 2011 Most natural stones and crushed rock are appropriate for use in concrete. Aggregate can be large or small, from fist-sized rocks to fine sand. Generally coarse aggregate is blended with finer aggregates (such as sand) to fill in the spaces left between the large pieces and to “lock” the larger pieces
