| dc.description.abstract | The aggregates to be used in road construction, particularly the road
aggregates used in the wearing course of the pavement should be sufficiently strong
resistant to crushing to withstand the high stresses induced due to heavy traffic wheel
loads. Specific gravity of an aggregate is basic prime value for any type of road
construction. The composition, shape, and size of the aggregate all have significant
impact on the workability, durability, strength, weight, and shrinkage of the concrete.
Coarse Aggregate can also influence the appearance of the road surface, which is an
especially important consideration in road construction. Coarse Aggregate plays an
important role in pavement construction. In order to decide the suitability of the
Coarse aggregate for use in pavement construction, following tests are carried out:
Aggregate Impact Value Test, Aggregate Crushing Value Test, Elongation &
Flakiness test | en_US |
