Describes methods for the determination of the ten per cent fines value (TFV) of aggregates which gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under gradually applied compressive load..
Describes methods for the determination of the aggregate impact value (AIV) which give a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact..
Describes a method for the determination of the aggregate abrasion value (AAV) which gives a measure of the resistance of aggregate to surface wear by abrasion..
Describes a method for determining amount of acid-soluble material in both of the size fractions of fine aggregate, all passing a 5.00 mm test sieve, separated by sieving on a 600 test sieve..
Describes the method for determining the soundness of aggregates by subjecting the aggregate to cycles of immersion in a saturated solution of magnesium sulphate followed by oven-drying..
