Specific Gravity and Water
Absorption Test
Objective :- To measure the strength or quality of material and determine the water
holding capacity of Agg.
Procedure :-
6
Specific Gravity and Water
Absorption Test
Observation :-
Wt. of Basket + sample + water (W1) =
7
Impact Test
Objective :- To determine the Impact Value of aggregate.
Procedure :- Sample passing through 12.5 mm IS sieve and retained on 10 mm IS sieve.
8
Impact Test
Observation :-
Wt. of sample passing through 2.36 mm IS sieve (W1) =
9
Crushing Test
Objective :- To determine the crushing value of Aggregate.
Procedure :- Sample passing through 12.5 mm IS sieve and retained on 10 mm IS sieve.
10
Crushing Test
Observation :-
Wt. of sample passing through 2.36 mm IS sieve (W1) =
11
Abrasion Test
Objective :- To find the % wear due to relative rubbing action between the aggregate and
steel balls.
12
Abrasion Test
Observation :-
Wt. of sample (W1) =
Result :- Abrasion value = For C.C & B.C. pavement = less than 30%
For WBM & Bituminous macadam = up to 50%
13
Shape Test
Objective :- To determine the flakiness index and elongation index of aggregates.
Procedure :- 200 piece of each sieve size
Thickness Gauge
