Aggregate Crushing Value Test | Crushing Value of Aggregate | Crushing Strength of Aggregate

  Aggregate Crushing Value is a relative resistance of aggregates to crushing under gradually applied compressive load The aggregate Crushing Value Test is an importanttest to be performed onaggregate. The strength of aggregate parent rock is determined by preparing cylindrical shape specimens of size 25 mm in diameter and 25...

Aggregate Impact Value Test Apparatus, Procedure and Uses

Due to movement of vehicle on the road the aggregates are subjected to impact resulting in their breaking down into smaller pieces. The aggregates should therefore have sufficient toughness to resist their disintegration on due to impact. This characteristics is measured by impact value...

Objectives of Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Test

Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Test of Coarse Aggregate are two important tests of coarse aggregate used in construction

Specific Gravity

“Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of aggregate to the weight of an equal volume of water.” The specific gravity is usually showed the strength and quality of the material. The specific gravity of aggregates test is usually used for the identification of stones or aggregates. Aggregates with low specific gravity values are mostly weaker than...
