The effect of types of aggregate is internal affect which it associated with the two category:
physical affect :included Volume change due to difference in thermal properties of aggregates and cement paste, and Frost Action (due to freezing and thawing)
Chemical affect: Alkali Aggregate Reactions, Alkali Carbonate Reaction, and Corrosion of Steel reinforcement.

Aggregate type may influence the durability parameters depending on the type of aggregate (light weight, RCA etc), mineralogy of aggregate (basaltic, limestone, marble, dolomitic etc)and so on. Mineralogy of aggregates have been observed to have no significant influence of the concrete durability parameters in some earlier works 1.
