    TEST FOR AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE

    PURPOSE : To determining the aggregate crushing value of coarse aggregates.

    IS CODE : IS: 2386 (PART IV) 1963

    APPARATUS : The apparatus shall consist of the following :


    (a) A 15 cm diameter open ended steel cylinder cross with plunger and base plate.
    (b) A straight metal tamping rod of circular cross-section 16 mm in diameter and 45 to 60 cm long rounded at
    one end
    (c) A balance of capacity 3 kg, readable and accurate to 1 gram
    (d) I.S. Sieve of sizes 12.5 mm, 10 mm, and 2.36 mm.
    (e) A compressive testing machine capable of applying a load of 50 tonnes, and which can be operated to give a
    uniform rate of loading is 5 tones per minute, so that the maximum load is reached in 10 minutes. The
    machine may be used with or without spherical seating.
    (f) For measuring the sample, cylindrical metal measure of sufficient rigidity to retain its form under rough usage
    and of the following dimensions : Dia of 11.5 cm and height of 18 cm.

    PROCEDURE :

    Preparation of sample
     The material for the standard test consists of aggregate passing a 12.5 mm I.S. Sieve and retained on a
    10 mm I.S. Sieve and shall be thoroughly separated on these sieves before testing.
     Test the aggregate in a surface-dry-condition. If dried by heating the period of drying not to exceed 4
    hours, the temperature is to be 100°C to 110°C and cool the aggregate to room temperature before
    testing.
     Find out the appropriate quantity by filling the cylindrical measure in three layers of approximately
    equal depth, each layer being tamped 25 times with the rounded end of the tamping rod and finally
    levelled off using the tamping rod as straight edge.
     Determine the weight of the material comprising the test sample (Weight A) and take the same weight
    of the sample for repeat test.

    PROCEDURE
     Put the cylinder of the test apparatus in position on the base plate and add the test sample in thirds,
    subject each third to 25 strokes with the tamping rod, level the surface of the aggregate carefully and
    insert the plunger so that it rests horizontally in this surface, take care to ensure that the plunger does
    not jam in the cylinder.
     Place the apparatus with test sample and the plunger in position between the plates of the testing
    machine and load it at a uniform rate of 4 tones per minute as possible so that the total load reaches in
    10 minutes. The total load is 40 tonnes.
     Release the load and remove the whole of the material from the cylinder and sieve on 2.36 mm I.S.
    Sieve for the standard test. Weigh the fraction passing the sieve (Weight B), in all of these operations;
    take care not to lose the fines. Make two tests for each sample

    CALCULATIONS :
     Express the ratio of the weight of the fines formed to the total sample weight in each test as a
    percentage and record the result to the first decimal place.
    Aggregate crushing value = B/A X 100
    Where :
    A = Weight of the surface dry sample.
    B = Weight of fraction passing the 2.36mm IS Sieve.
