IMPACT TEST ON AGGREGATE

DATE:

AIM:

To find the Impact value for the given sample of aggregate.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. IS Sieve (12.5 mm, 10 mm, 2.36 mm)
2. Tamping rod
3. Test sample
4. Hammer of weight 14 kg.

FORMULA:
Impact value = (W2 / W1) x 100
where,
W1 = Weight of the dry sample in g
W2 = Weight of fraction passing through IS 2.36 mm sieve in g.

PROCEDURE:
 Aggregate passing through IS 12.5 mm sieve and retained in IS 10 mm sieve was
taken as the sample.
 The test sample was filled in a mould in 3 layers by giving 25 blows for each.
 layer using tamping rod and leveled.
 The dry weight of the sample was noted as W1.
 The whole sample was filled in a cylindrical steel cup.
 The hammer was allowed to fall freely from a height of 38 cm on the aggregate.
 The sample was subjected to 15 blows and it was sieved using IS 2.36 mm sieve.
 The fraction passing through sieve was weighed and noted as W2.
 The impact of the aggregates was calculated using the formula (W2 / W1) x 100.

CRUSHING TEST ON AGGREGATE
DATE:

AIM:

To find the crushing strength value for the given sample of aggregate.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. IS Sieve(12.5mm,10mm,2.36mm).
2. Tamping rod.
3. Test sample.
4. Hammer of weight 40 tonnes.

FORMULA:

Crushing Strength =

Where,
W1 = Weight of dry sample in g.
W2 = Weight of fraction passing through IS 2.36mm sieve in g.

PROCEDURE:
 Aggregate passing through IS 12.5mm sieve and retained in IS 10mm sieve was taken
as the sample.
 The test sample was filled in a mould in 3 layers by giving 25 blows for each layer
using tamping rod and leveled.
 The dry weight of the sample was noted as W1.
 The sample was transferred to a cylinder with base plate and was carefully leveled.
 The plunger was inserted horizontally on the surface.
 The apparatus was placed in the UTM and a total load of 40 tonnes was applied.
 The fraction passing through IS 2.36 sieve was weighed and noted as W2.
