3. Shape Tests on Aggregates
Shape tests on Aggregates( Flakiness Index and Elongation Index Test) The shape test of aggregates determines the shape and size of particle. Size & shape of aggregates directly has impact on strength of concrete, bond strength, workability of concrete, cement Read More …
2. Impact test of aggregate (Aggregate Impact value)
Aggregate Impact value: Aggregate impact value is defined as the ability of aggregates to have resistance against shock and impact, toughness. It Also can be defined as the load at which aggregates start cracking due to the impact and shocking. Read More …

1. Sieve Analysis
Based On (IS : 2386 (Part 1) and IS : 2386 (Part 4)) The Sieve analysis test is nothing but the gradation test, in which gradation of particle (distribution of aggregates by size, within given sample) is find out. The Read More …
Grading Curve
Grading Curve The graphical representation of sieve analysis is also knows as Grade curve. 1. Readings recorded from sieve analysis is plotted in graph shown below (take particle size on X-axis and percent finer on Y-axis). This graph is also Read More …
6. Grading of aggregates
What is grading of aggregates?? Grading of aggregates is procedure to find out the particle size distribution of various aggregates. This method helps to determine the aggregates size and percentage used in construction works. Coarse aggregates are graded as, 80mm, Read More …
5. How to select the aggregates for construction:
How to select the aggregates for the construction is very important to achieve the quality of concrete. Selection of aggregates should be done on basis of their properties. The good quality aggregates should be selected for the construction. How to Read More …
4. Properties of aggregates
Properties of aggregates plays very important role in selection of aggregates for different kinds of construction. Different activities requires the different aggregates depending on their properties. For example, for road construction high density aggregates are required. For compound wall low Read More …
3. What is M sand??
What is M sand: M sand is type of sand which manufactured by crushing the rock. M in M sand also sands for Manufacturing. This Also Know as Manufacturing sand. M sand is generally uniformly graded sand, as it Read More …
2. Types of aggregates
Aggregates are classified depending on the shape and size of the aggregates as follows, Types of construction aggregates Classification based on size of aggregates: 1. Coarse Aggregates: Coarse aggregates are the aggregates which are greater than 4.75mm and cannot pass Read More …
