The apparatus of the aggregate crushing value test as per IS: 2386 (Part IV) – 1963 consists of: 1) A 15cm diameter open ended steel cylinder with plunger and base plate, of the general form and dimensions as shown in Fig 1. 2) A straight metal tamping rod of circular cross-section 16mm diameter and 45 to 60







Specific Gravity and Water Absorption Test; Stripping Value Test Aggregate Crushing Test. The strength of aggregate is defined as the resistance of the aggregate against gradual loading. The strength of aggregate is determined by the Crushing Value Test on aggregates. The aggregates passing through a 12.5 mm IS …

Aggregate Crushing Value Test (ACV Test) AIM: Determination of Aggregate Crushing Value Crushing Strength of Coarse Aggregate. Aggregate Crushing value test IS Code is 2386-4 (1963): Methods of Test for Aggregates for Concrete. Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus . A 15 cm dia. Steel cylinder with plunger and base plate.





Aggregate Crushing Value Test . 1. objective. The aggregate crushing value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. With aggregate of aggregate crushing value 30 or higher, the result may be anomalous, and in such cases the ten percent fines value should be determined ...



5.1 Impact Value, as determined using the standard 4.5 kg (10 lbm) hammer, has direct application to design and construction of pavements and a general application to earthworks compaction control and evaluation of strength characteristics of a wide range of materials, such as soils, soil aggregates, stabilized soil and recreational …





This document describes the procedure for determining the aggregate crushing value (ACV) of aggregate materials. The ACV test involves crushing a sample of aggregate between 9.5mm and 13.2mm under a gradually applied 400kN load. The percentage of material crushed finer than 2.36mm is calculated and reported as the ACV. The test can …





crushed, manufactured sand resulting from crushing operations. The fine aggregate shall be clean, hard, durable, of fairly cubical shape and free from soft pieces, organic or other deleterious substances. The Sand Equivalent Test (IS:2720, Part 37) value for the fine aggregate shall not be less than 50. The fine aggregate shall be non-plastic.



This resistance of aggregate may differ from resistance to gradual load which we measure in the crushing value test.. Importance of Impact Test on Aggregates. The impact test on aggregate is carried out to know the response of aggregates to different kinds of loads that the aggregates will be subjected to during their service life.. The need impact value test …













This document gives the determination of aggregate crushing value (ACV) of aggregates. This gives a relative measure of the resistance of the aggregate crushing under the gradually applied compressive load. The method is applicable to aggregates passing a 14,0 mm test sieve and retained on a 10,0 mm test sieve.



AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE This test helps to determine the aggregate crushing value of coarse aggregates as per IS: 2386 (Part IV) – 1963. ... 12.5mm, 10mm and 2.36mm. Procedure to determine Aggregate Crushing Value i) The aggregates passing through 12.5mm and retained on 10mm IS Sieve are oven-dried at a temperature of 100 …





A test is recognized with IS:2386 part-IV and conducted to find out the crushing strength of aggregates. The crushing value of aggregate offers a relative measure of resistance against crushing under progressively employed crushing load. Crushing value refers to a measure of the strength of the aggregate.



This test is similar to the Aggregate Crushing Test (ACV), which applies a standard force of 400kN and expresses the fines material as a percentage of the original mass, known as the aggregate crushing value. The granular sub-base is subject to repeated loadings from various truck types, causing high levels of stress at the contact …
