DISCUSSION:

It may seldom happen that the aggregates desired for a certain construction project has the same grading
as any one of the specified grading In all cases the standard grading or grading nearest to the gradation of
the selected aggregates may be chosen

Different specification limits may be required for grading E, F and G when compared with А, В and D.
Further investigations are necessary before any such specifications could be made.

Los Angeles Abrasion Test is very commonly used to evaluate the quality of road aggregates, especially to
decide the hardness of stones. However, this test may be considered as one in which resistance to both
abrasion and impact of aggregate may be obtained simultaneously, due to the presence of abrasive
charge. Also the test condition is considered more representatives of field conditions. The result obtained
on stone aggregates is highly reproducible.
