The crushing strength result of an individual aggregate was calculated according to Eq. (1), and the average value of 12 aggregates was reported. (1) σ = 2.8 P π d 2 where σ is the crushing strength of the aggregate (MPa), P is the failure load (N), and d is the distance between the loading points measured by three axials (mm).
Aggregate strength testing Strength tests are used to assess the suitability of aggregate for use in road stone or concrete. They are indicator tests, measuring the likely rather than the actual performance of aggregate. Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) – this is the measurement of the aggregates resistance to repeated and sudden force.
Select coarse aggregate that passes a 14 or 12.5mm sieve and is retained on a 10mm sieve. Heat the aggregate at 100-110°C for four hours, or until constant mass is achieved, and let it cool to room temperature. The quantity of aggregate should be enough to fill the cylinder up to 10cm after tamping, as described below.
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 ...

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 they are subjected to high compressive stresses.
The crushing value of aggregates is measured in the ratio between the crushed aggregates, obtained from the IS sieve 2.36mm and the weight of the dried aggregate sample. At least …
Aggregate crushing value is a numerical index of the strength of the aggregate and it is used in construction of roads and pavements. Crushing value of aggregates indicates its strength. Lower crushing value is recommended for roads and pavements as it indicates a lower crushed fraction under load and would give a longer service life and a more ...
On the other hand, aggregate of moderate or low strength and modulus of elasticity can be valuable in preserving the integrity of concrete, because volume changes under the applied load lead to lower stress in the cement-paste when the aggregate is compressible. Whereas a rigid aggregate might lead to cracking of the surrounding cement-paste.
