The invention relates to the technical field of building materials, and discloses artificial coarse aggregate and a preparation method thereof. The artificial coarse aggregate is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of sea sand; 12 to 20 parts of a binder; 0.06 to 0.18 part of a coalescing agent; 12 to 20 parts of water; wherein the binder is an acrylate copolymer emulsion with the solid content of 50%, and the coalescing agent is propylene glycol monobutyl ether. The preparation method comprises the steps of raw material pretreatment and mixing, adhesive solution preparation, rolling agglomeration granulation, curing maintenance, screening and the like. By controlling the particle size grading of the sea sand, the use amount of the binder and process parameters, the prepared artificial coarse aggregate is in an irregular polygonal form, has a rough and porous surface, has proper bulk density, cylinder compressive strength and water absorption, and can meet the use requirements of C25-C35 grade lightweight concrete. According to the method, efficient utilization of sea sand resources is achieved, the process is simple, energy consumption is low, and the method has good engineering application prospects.
