Aggregate
• Construction, or simply
aggregate, is a broad
category of coarse- to
medium-grained particulate
material used in
construction, including
sand, gravel, crushed
stone, slag, recycled
concrete and geosynthetic
aggregates.
Sources of aggregate
• Igneous rocks are formed from melted
rock deep inside the Earth.
• Sedimentary rocks are formed from
layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and
animal skeletons.
• Metamorphic rocks formed from other
rocks that are changed by heat and
pressure underground.
Tests for Road Aggregate:
In order to decide the suitability of the road stones for use in
construction, the following tests are carried out:
(a) Crushing test
(b) Abrasion test
(c) Impact test
(d) Soundness test
(e) Shape test
- Flakiness index
- - Elongation index
(f) Specific gravity and water absorption test
(g) Bitumen adhesion test
Crushing strength test
• The strength of course aggregate may be assessed by aggregate
crushing strength test.
• The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of
resistance to crushing under gradually applied compressive load.
• To achieve a high quality of pavement aggregates possessing high
resistance to crushing or low aggregate crushing value are preferred.
• Dry aggregates passing 12.5mm IS sieve and retained on 10mm sieve
is filled in the cylinder measure in three equal layers, each layer being
ramped 25 times by the tamper. The test sample is weighed (equal to
w1g) and placed in the test cylinder in compression machine.
• The plunger is placed on the top of specimen
and a load of 40 tones is applied at a rate of 4
tones per minute by the compression machine
up to 10 minutes.
• The crushed aggregate is removed and sieved
on 2.36mm IS sieve.
• The crushed material which passes this sieve is
weighed equal to W2 g.
• The aggregate crushing value is the percentage
of the crushed material passing 2.36mm sieve
in terms of original weight W1 of the specimen.
• A value less than 10 signifies an exceptionally strong aggregate while
above 35 would normally be regarded as weak aggregates.
• ACV is not greater than 30 % for surface course
• ACV is not greater than 45 % for base course
Abrasion test
• Due to the movements of traffic the road stones used in the surface
course are subjected to wearing action at the top.
• Hence road stones should be hard enough to resist the abrasion due
to the traffic.
• Abrasion tests are carried out to test the hardness property of stones
and to decide whether they are suitable for the different road
construction works.
• The abrasion test on aggregate may be carried out using any one of
the following three tests.
1. Los angles abrasion test
2. Deval abrasion test
3. Dorry abrasion test
• However los angles abrasion test is preferred as the result have been
correlated with pavement performance and has been standardized in
India (IS:2386 part-IV).
• AV is not greater
than 30 % for
surface course

• AV is not greater
than 50 % for
base course
Impact value test
• A test designed to evaluate the toughness of stone or the resistance of the
aggregates to fracture under repeated impacts is called impact test.
• The aggregate impact test is commonly carried out to evaluate the
resistance to impact of aggregate and has been standardized by ISI.

• The aggregate impact value indicates a relative measure of resistance of


aggregates to
• Aggregate specimen passing 12.5mm sieve and retained on 10mm sieve is
filled in cylinder measure in 3 layers by tamping each layer by 25 blows.
• The sample is transferred from the measure to the cup of the
aggregates impact testing machine and compacted by tamping 25
times.
• The hammer is raised to a height of 38cm above the upper surface of
the aggregate in the cup and is allowed to fall freely on the specimen.
• After subjecting the test specimen to 15 blows, the crushed aggregate
is sieved on 2.36mm sieve.
• The aggregate impact value is expressed as the percentage of the fine
formed in terms of the total weight of the sample.
• AV is not greater than 30 % for surface course
• AV is not greater than 35 % for BM
• AV is not greater than 40 % for WBM
• The aggregate impact value should not normally exceed 30percent for
the aggregate to be used in wearing course of pavements.
• The maximum permissible value is 35% for bituminous macadam and
40%for water bound macadam base courses.
