Developed in France during the 1960s, this test has become a widely accepted and cost-effective procedure for assessing the abrasion resistance of aggregates. The test involves placing a sample of the aggregate along with steel balls in the presence of water. The entire assembly is then rotated in a drum for a specified number of …

Designation (Number): B.S. 812: Part 112: 1990. Scope: -Testing coarse aggregates for resistance to Impact Aggregates: -combination of sand, gravel, crushed stone, or other material of mineral composition-Natural aggregates taken from quarries (natural deposits)-Manufactured aggregates include blast furnace slag, clay and slate …







Procedure of Impact Test. The procedure of the impact value test includes the following series of steps: 1. The aggregate samples of size 10mm to 12.5mm (passing through 12.5mm sieve and retained on 10mm sieve) are first taken and oven-dried at a temperature ranging from 100 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius for about four hours.









Concrete Aggregates. Ian Sims, Bev Brown, in Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete (Fourth Edition), 1998. Aggregate impact value. A small portion of 14–10 mm sized coarse aggregate particles is confined in a steel pot and subjected to 15 blows by a small hammer in a standardised test rig, after which the ' aggregate impact value' (AIV) is determined …



The aggregate impact test is carried out to evaluate the resistance to impact of aggregates. Aggregates passing 12.5 mm sieve and retained on 10 mm sieve is filled in a cylindrical steel cup of internal dia 10.2 mm and depth 5 cm which is attached to a metal base of impact testing machine. The material is filled in 3 layers where each …



Round the result to the nearest whole number, and report the mean of two observations as the Aggregate Impact Value. What do the AIV values mean? Here are the recommended Aggregate Impact Test values and their corresponding classifications: Aggregate Impact Value Classification. Less than 20%: Exceptionally strong. Between …



A sieve analysis or gradation test determines the distribution of aggregate particles by size within a given sample. This information can then be used to determine compliance with design and production requirements. Data can also be used to better understand the relationship between aggregates or blends and to predict trends during production.





To determine Aggregate Impact Value Using Impact Testing Machine. Apparatus: – Impact Testing Machine: – Weight of hammer is 13.5 to 14.0 kg and Height of Fall is 380±5 mm. Sieves: – required are 12.5, 10.0 and 2.36 mm. Weight Scale: – To measure Weight of the sample. Procedure: – REPARATION OF SAMPLE

Aggregate Impact Value (percent) = (W2 / W1) × 100; Take the mean of two observations, rounded to the nearest whole number, as the Aggregate Impact Value. Observations and Results. The observations in the Impact Test are recorded, including the total weight of the dry sample (W1 gm), weight of portion passing the 2.36 mm sieve …



The equipment used for conducting the aggregate impact value test comprises of: The testing machine, which weighs between 45 and 60 kg, is equipped with a metal base featuring a flat lower surface measuring at least 30 cm in diameter. ... Record of observations Interpretation of Results. The following AIV values for different types of …



Aggregate Impact Value; Test Specifications: Aggregate Impact Value. The test sample shall consist of aggregates the whole of which passes through ½ in B.S. test sieve and is retained on a 3/8 in B.S. test sieve. The aggregate comprising the test sample shall be dried in an oven for a period of four hours at a temperature of 100-110 °C and ...



Aggregate is the most fundamental and widely used component of construction. It is used as an unbound material which constitutes about of the volume of base courses, 95 to 93% of the volume of asphalt and about 85 to 75% of the volume of Portland cement concrete.Aggregate is exposed to a number of physical and chemically …
