    This document discusses the classification and testing of coarse aggregates used in concrete. It defines coarse aggregates as those retained on a No. 4 sieve and outlines several classification systems including by size, source, unit weight, shape, and surface texture. Key tests described for coarse aggregates are particle size, flakiness and elongation index, moisture content, specific gravity, ten percent fines value, aggregate crushing value, impact value, and abrasion value. The document stresses that ideal aggregates for concrete should be hard, strong, dense, and free of materials that could harm steel reinforcement.

    COARSE
    AGGREGATE
    INTRODUCTION:-
    Aggregate are the important constituent in
    concrete. Aggregate are granular material, derived
    from the most part from the natural rocks,
    crushed stones, or natural gravels and sands.

    Aggregate generally occupy about 70% to 80% of
    the volume of concrete and can therefore be
    expected to have an important influence on it
    properties.

    3
    CLASSIFICATION OF AGGREGATE:-
    a)CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SIZE:
    >Coarse aggregate:
    Aggregate which retained on the No.4 (4.75mm) sieve.
    The function of the coarse aggregate is to act as the main load-
    bearing component of the concrete.
    >Fine aggregate:
    Aggregate passing No.4(4.75mm) sieve and
    predominately retained on the No.200 (75) sieve. The fine
    aggregate serve the purpose of filling all the open space in
    between the coarse particles.
    4
    b)CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SOURCE:
    >Natural aggregates:
    This kind of aggregate is taken from natural deposits
    without changing their nature during the process production
    such as crushing and grinding.
    >Manufactured (synthetics) aggregates:
    This is a kind of man-made materials produced as a main
    product or an industrial by-product. Some example are blast
    furnace slag, air cooled slag and broken bricks. Synthetics
    aggregates are produced by thermally processed materials such
    as expanded clay and shale used for making light weight
    concrete.
    5
    c)CLASSIFICATION BASED ON UNIT WEIGHT:
    Aggregates are classified as Light-weight, Heavy-weight
    and Normal-weight aggregate depending on weight and specific
    gravity.

    AGGREGATE SPECIFIC

    (kN/m3)
    BULK DENSITY
    (kN/m3)
    EXAMPLE
    normal-weight 2.5-2.7 23-26 15.20-16.80 sand
    heavy-weight 2.8-2.9 25-29 >20.80 Scrap iron
    light-weight 12 <11.20 dolomite
    d)CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SHAPE:
    The shape of aggregates is an important characteristic,
    since it affect the workability of concrete.

    7
    CLASSIFICATION EXAMPLE
    Rounded River or seashore gravels
    Partly rounded Pit sands & Gravels
    Angular Crushed Rocks
    Flaky Laminated rocks
    8
    FLAT
    ELONGATED
    ROUND ANGULAR
    e)CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SUFACE TEXTURE:
    Surface texture is a measure of the smoothness and
    roughness of aggregate. The grouping of aggregate is broad and
    is based on visual examination of the specimen. As per IS:383-
    1970 the aggregates are classified into five groups, namely,
    Glassy, Smooth, Granular, Crystalline, Honeycombed and Porous.
    9
    CLASSIFICATION EXAMPLES
    Glassy Black flint
    Smooth Gravel, Marble
    Granular Sandstone
    Rough Basalt
    Crystalline Granite
    Honeycombed & Porous Brick, slag
    10
    SMOOTH
    ROUGH
    GOOD QUALITYIES OF AN IDEAL AGGREGATE:
    An ideal aggregate used for the manufacturing of
    concrete and mortar, should meet the following
    requirements.
    (1) It should consist of natural stones, gravels and sand or
    in various combinations of these materials.
    (2) It should be hard, strong and durable.
    (3) It should be dense, clear and free from any coating.
    (4) It should be free from injurious vegetable matters.
    (5) It should not contain flaky (angular) and elongated
    pieces.
    (6) It should not contain any material liable to attack
    steel reinforcement in case of reinforced concrete.

    TESTS ON AGGREGATE:-
    The test usually conducted on coarse aggregates are
    >PARTICLE SIZE
    >FLAKINESS &ELONGATION INDEX
    >MOISTURE CONTENT
    >SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND WATER ABSORPTION
    >TEN PERCENT FINE VALUE
    >AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE
    >AGGREGATE IMPACT VALUE
    > AGGREGATE ABRASION VALUE

    12
    IMPACT VALUE TEST
    The aggregate impact value gives a relative measure of the
    resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact. The
    impact value is some times used as an alternative to its
    crushing value.
    Material passing 12.5mm and retained on 10mm sieve is
    taken.


    13
    AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE:-
    The aggregate crushing value gives a relative measure of
    resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually
    applied compressive load. The aggregate crushing strength
    value is useful factor to know the behavior of aggregates
    when subjected to wear.

    CRUSHING VALUE=weight of fraction passing the sieve
    total weight of sample
    14
    AGGREGATE ABRASION VALUE:-
    The aggregate abrasion value gives a relative measure of
    resistance of an aggregate to wear when it is rotated in a
    cylinder along with some abrasive charge
    15
    SIEVE ANALYSIS
    Sieve analysis is also called as Particle size value.

    In determination of the proportions of the
    particles with in certain ranges in an aggregate
    by separation on various sieves of different size
    openings, may be defined as sieve analysis.

    FINENESS MODULUS= cumulative % of agg retained on each sieve

    SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF AGG.
    Sp.Gr. is used in certain computations for concrete mix design or
    control work, such as, absolute volume of aggregate in concrete. It
    is not a measure of the quality of aggregate.
    Sp.Gr.=
    Weight of Agg. (W
    A
    )
    Weight of an equal volume of water (V

    FLAKINESS & ELONGATION INDEX
    FLAKINESS INDEX= weight of particle passing through the gauge
    weight of sample

    ELONGATION INDEX=weight of particle retained on length gauge
    weight of sample
