Apply the load at uniform rate of 40 tonnes load in 10 minutes. Then stop the machine and crushed aggregate is sieved through 2.36mm sieve and aggregate passing 2.36mm sieve is weighed. Aggregate crushing value can be obtained from below formula: Aggregate crushing value = (W2/W1) *100 %. Abrasion Test on Aggregates
The test aims at looking for the forces required to produce 10% of fine values (i.e. weight of fines aggregates/weight of all aggregates = 10%). This test is very similar to Aggregate Crushing Test in which a standard force 400kN is applied and fines material expressed as a percentage of the original mass is the aggregate crushing value.
The average value of the two samples is the Impact Value of Aggregate. Lab Test Report Format. SI: Description: Sample 1 in grams: Sample 2 in grams: 1: Weight of dried sample (W1) 340: 360: 2: Weight of crushed particle passed through 2.36mm sieve (W2) 50: 65: 3: Impact value of Aggregate = (W2/W1) x 100: 15%: 18%:
The crushing value test is conducted on aggregates that are used for the construction of roads. Lower crushing value aggregates give much more durability for roads due to its …
aggregate crushing value did separate suitable and unsuitable aggregate for bitumen macadam roadbase. Fookes, Gourley and Ohikere [5] recommended that combinations of physical tests such as impact, crushing and abrasion resistance be used to assess aggregate durability. The Micro-Deval abrasion test was developed in France during the …
The crushing value test of aggregate provides the resistance of an aggregate sample to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. Generally, the test is conducted on aggregate passing 12.5 mm …
Aggregate tests for Concrete. Crushing strength test. A sample of rock was taken from a quarry having a size of 25 mm mean diameter and 25 mm height. it consists of an assembly of an open-ended cylinder and a base plate, inside which a plunger works. The material to be tested should pass through a 12.5 mm sieve and get retained on a 10 mm sieve.
This test is similar to the Aggregate Crushing Test (ACV), which applies a standard force of 400kN and expresses the fines material as a percentage of the original mass, known as the aggregate crushing value. The granular sub-base is subject to repeated loadings from various truck types, causing high levels of stress at the contact …

Measurement of toughness and resistance, often referred to as the abrasion test of aggregate, like degradation, crushing, and disintegration is the right definition of the Abrasion test.This abrasion test is conducted to find the resistance of materials against wear and tear.. This test is suggested by AASHTO T 96 or ASTM C 131 Resistance to …
Aggregates used in construction should be strong enough to resist crushing under loading conditions. If the aggregates are weak, the integrity of the structure may be adversely affected. The strength of the aggregates here is measured in a crushing test. The TFV gives a relative measure of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied load.
