Aggregate Crushing Test. Aggregate crushing value is the measure of resistance of aggregate to crushing against gradually applied compressive load. This test is conducted to determine the crushing strength of aggregate. This test helps to assess the suitability of aggregates for use in road construction and other applications where …

The aggregate crushing value is an indirect measure of crushing strength of the aggregates. Low aggregate crushing value indicates strong aggregates, as the crushed fraction is low. Thus the test can be used to assess the suitability of aggregates with reference to the crushing strength for various types of pavement components.

The Crushing Value test measures the ability of an aggregate to resist crushing under a compressive load. It is a measure of the strength and toughness of the aggregate. In this test, a standard crushing load is applied to a prepared aggregate sample, and the percentage of fines generated after the specified amount of crushing is determined.

The values given in Table 4 apply when a test result is obtained as the average of two determinations of the aggregate crushing value on sub-samples of the same test portion, when both determinations comply with the check on the masses given in 7.4.

APPARATUS 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.

A test is standardized by IS: 2386 part-IV and used to determine the crushing strength of aggregates. The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of resistance to crushing under …

Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) – this is the measurement of the resistance of aggregate to crushing by compressive force. A test specimen (10-14mm) is compressed (up to 400 kN) and the proportion of material passing …

The crushing strength or aggregate crushing value of a given road aggregate is found out as per IS-2386 Part- 4. The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of resistance to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. To achieve a high quality of pavement aggregate possessing low aggregate crushing value should be …

This test is carried out to assess the strength of coarse aggregate when a compressive load is gradually applied. Aggregate crushing value = (W2/W1) × 100. where, W 1 = Total weight of the dry sample. W 2 = weight of material passing through 2.36 mm IS sieve. The aggregate crushing value for the surface course should be within …

Aggregate Crushing Value Test is an important test to be performed on aggregate. The strength of aggregate parent rock is determined by preparing cylindrical shape specimens of size 25 mm diameter and 25 …

The test requires samples of the aggregate to be subjected to standard load crushing conditions. Multiple layers of presieved materials are tamped 25 times before a 40-ton load is applied at a rate of 4 tons per minute. The crushed aggregate is then sieved, weighed, and compared to the original total weight to provide an aggregate crushing …

The aggregate crushing value is an essential index in the construction of road bases and is defined as the mass percentage of fine particles after a confined compression test of recycled CDW.

The aggregate crushing value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing apply a gradually increasing compressive load. The strength of aggregate is calculated by the crushing value test. The aggregates used should be strong enough to with stand the stresses which comes on to it.
