Mechanical Properties of Aggregates Aggregate Crushing Value Test (BS:812, part 3) Procedure • The material to be tested should pass a 14.0 mm (1/2 in.) sieve and be retained on a 10 mm (3/8 in.) sieve. • Dry the sample in an oven at 100-110 0 C for four hours. • Place the sample in a standard cylindrical mould and tamp it. • Put a plunger on the top of the …
Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) is an index of loss of coarse aggregate (CA) under sustained loading. However, ACV is not considered in concrete mix design according to ACI 211.1(ACI 211.1, 2009). In this paper effect of ACV of CA on compressive strength of concrete has been explored. Coarse Aggregate was collected from five different sources. Concrete mix design …
Result: Aggregate crushing value = 20% Result Analysis: The value is higher when more percentage of aggregates crush and break into smaller pieces which indicates the aggregates are of a lower quality. Aggregate crushing value < 45% for aggregates used for concrete for non-wearing surfaces and <25% for wearing surfaces like runways and roadways.
Objective For determination of the aggregate crushing value of coarse aggregate, which passes 12.5 mm. IS sieve and retained on 10 mm. IS sieve. Reference Standard IS: 2386 (Part IV)-1963 Methods of test for aggregate for concrete Part IV Mechanical Properties. Equipment & Apparatus Steel Cylinder Sieves (12.5mm,10mm) Cylindrical metal …
The uses of coarse aggregate are: 1. It is used for providing volume to the concrete which reduces the cost of the project. 2. It helps to boost the crushing strength of concrete. 3. It is used in the railway ballast which helps in the uniform distribution of load. 4.
Strong aggregates give low aggregate crushing value. Preferably the aggregate crushing value of the coarse aggregate used for cement concrete pavement at surface should not exceed 30 percent. For aggregates used for concrete other than for wearing surfaces, the aggregates crushing value shall not exceed 45 percent.
To assess the strength of coarse aggregates used in the pavement components under gradually applied load and to determine the aggregates crushing value of the given sample of aggregates. Apparatus used: Crushing Machine, Tamping Rod, Trowel, Weighing Balance, Cylindrical Mould, Plunger etc. Description Aggregates crushing value: The aggregates ...

Coarse aggregate crushing value is the percentage by weight of the crushed material obtained when test aggregates are subjected to a specified load under standardized conditions. Aggregate crushing value is a numerical index of the strength of the aggregate and it is used in construction of roads and pavements.
Calculate the Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV)expressed as a percentage to the first decimal place, of the mass of fines formed to the total mass of the test specimen from the following expression. (ACV) = 100 x M2 / M1 Where, M1 is the mass of the test specimen in grammes. M2 is the mass of the material passing the 2.36mm test sieve in grammes.
Aggregates larger than 4.75 mm in size are termed as coarse aggregates. These aggregates are obtained from stone quarries and stone crushers, the size between 4.75 mm to 80 mm. Good qualities of an ideal aggregate: These aggregate used for the construction of concrete and mortar must meet the following requirements.

The aggregate crushing value is calculated as, General Outcomes Greater is the aggregate crushing value, softer is the aggregate sample and vice versa. This is suggestive of the fact that the resistance of aggregates to crushing is less. Therefore, the strength of such a sample is also less.
The aggregate crushing value is defined as the ratio of the weight of fines passing through specified IS (here 2.36mm sieve) to the total weight of sample expressed in percentage. W1= Weigh of the total aggregates (Wa-We) W2= Weigh of aggregates passing through 2.36mm IS sieve. Aggregate crushing value= ( W2 / W1 ) × 100
The test aims at looking for the forces required to produce 10% of fine values (i.e. weight of fines aggregates/weight of all aggregates = 10%). This test is very similar to Aggregate Crushing Test in which a standard force 400kN is applied and fines material expressed as a percentage of the original mass is the aggregate crushing value.
