Impact test – Determination of aggregate Impact value

30 March 2021 Sreepriya R Aggregate, Building Materials

Impact test on aggregate is determines the ability of an aggregate to withstand sudden loads. Aggregates are the significant factor that contributes adequate strength to concrete. Therefore it is important to obtain the right quality aggregate for construction. Aggregates are often subjected to impact due to the movement of vehicles on road. Hence it should possess good impact resistance or else it results in disintegration and breaking into pieces.

Aggregate crushing test – Strength of aggregate

28 March 2021 Sreepriya R Aggregate, Building Materials

Aggregate crushing test is done to find out the strength of aggregate which is the fundamental and essential components of concrete, flexible pavements, etc. More than 70 to 80 per cent of the volume of concrete is aggregate. Aggregates are a very important component of concrete, so the quality really matters when it comes to aggregates. Furthermore, their uses include flexible pavements, railway ballast, etc.
