Had it in a Portuguese road building construction text recently - you'll have to research a bit further to see which adjective (if either) applies but the substance is aggregates.
Good luck

NB: The term MIXED AGGREGATES does exist, so consider that too (I find it a bit tautological myself, but then again I'm no engineer :)

Seems also than aggregate is defined (on a Belgian site) as:
Aggregate:
Granulate of type 0/D where D is greater than 4 mm.

Comment: "Thank you to all. I think that the both of the answers provided are correct, but I have to agree with Debs and Meturgan that this seems to be the term used in the UK and my target language is UK English. The references Jack supplied all seem to come from Dutch and German sites. I appreciate everyone's input very much."

Bedankt! Ik denk dan eerder aan een verschil tussen de wetenschap en de praktijk. In de internationale wetenschappelijke wereld (althans de exacte en technische) is men het naar mijn mening i.h.a. redelijk met elkaar eens over Engelse vaktermen.

menggranulaat = a mix of concrete and masonry aggregate
In current building practice there is a desire to replace more of the traditional coarse aggregates in concrete by ‘menggranulaat’, which is a mix of concrete and masonry aggregate. By definition the percentage of concrete aggregate with a volume weight of at least
2100 kg/m in ‘menggranulaat’ should be higher than 50%. Based on existing knowledge, in 1997 a CUR-recommendation was issued that gives additional rules for the application of 100% ‘menggranulaat’
in concrete walls in lower safety classes.
The recommendation applies to concrete strength classes up to B35 and to the milder environmental classes 1 and 2.
