Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) is an index of loss of coarse aggregate (CA) under sustained loading. However, ACV is not considered in concrete mix design according to ACI 211.1(ACI 211.1, 2009). In this paper effect of ACV of CA on compressive strength of concrete has been explored. Coarse Aggregate was collected from five different …

The abrasion Test is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation, and disintegration. This test is suggested by AASHTO T 96 or …
Apparatus needed for the aggregate crushing value test includes a steel cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm, along with a plunger and base plate. A straight metal tamping rod with a 16 mm diameter and a rounded end, measuring between 45 and 60 cm in length is also required. A balance that can handle up to 3 kg and is readable and …
What is an aggregate crushing value? The resistance capacity of aggregate under gradually applied compression load is known as aggregate crushing value. The test …
The abrasion Test measures aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation and disintegration. This test is suggested by AASHTO T 96 or ASTM C 131: Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in Los Angeles Machine.
Aggregate crushing value test provides strength of aggregates for resistance against crushing under loads and is used for roads and pavements construction. Aggregate crushing value test on coarse aggregates gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate crushing under gradually applied compressive load.
🕑 Reading time: 1 minuteLos Angeles abrasion test on aggregates is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation and disintegration. This test is carried out by AASHTO T 96 or ASTM C 131: Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los …
Grade of the aggregate Minimum mass of test portion All-in aggregate 40 mm max. size All-in aggregate 20 mm max. size Graded aggregate 40 to 5 mm ... Report the mean as the Aggregate Crushing Value, unless the individual results differ by more than 0.07 times the mean value. In this case repeat the test on
Sieve the test material through 12.5 mm and 10.0 mm IS sieve. Take test samples of aggregates passing through 12.5 mm IS sieve and retained on 10 mm IS sieve (minimum 3 Kg).; Dry theme in an oven for 4 hours at a temperature of 100 °C to 110 °C and then cool at room temperature.
