Aggregate suitability tests for paving, concrete, mortar
Determination of mechanical properties
- Determination of the resistance to wear (Micro Deval)
- Resistance to fragmentation of aggregates (Los Angeles test)
- Polished stone value (PSV) • Aggegate abrasion value (AAV)
- Thermal & weathering properties of aggregates (magnesium sulfate)
- Resistance to thermal shock • Natural stone strength
- Compressive strength of dimension stone
Modulus of rupture of dimension stone Determination of physical properties
- Loose bulk density and voids • Particle size distribution of aggregates
- Determination of material finer than 75μm
- Particle density and water absorption
- Determination of clay lumps & friable aggregate grains
- Shape index of aggregates
- Flakiness index of aggregates
- Flow coefficient of aggregates
- Sand equivalent test
