Lab Report 1

This document summarizes a student's laboratory experiment to determine the aggregate impact value (AIV) of a sample according to BS 812: Part 112 1990. The experiment involves placing an aggregate sample in a metal cylinder, subjecting it to 15 blows from a falling hammer, then sieving and weighing the crushed and uncrushed portions. The AIV is calculated as the percentage of crushed material passing a 2.36mm sieve. AIV values below 10 indicate strong aggregates while values above 35 would be too weak for road surfaces. The student's results and conclusions from the experiment are presented.

AGGREGATE IMPACT VALUE (AIV)

MATRIC NO. 13DKA20F1133
OBJECTIVES

To assess the resistance of an aggregate to mechanical degradation by the Aggregate


Impact Value and to deiermine percent crush due to impact load

BACKGROUND

When a road aggregate has been manufactured to a specified grading it is stock


piled, loaded into trucks. transported, tipped, spread and compacted, If the aggregate is
weak, some degradation may take place and result in a change in grading and/or fhe
production of excessive and undesirable fines. Thus* an aggregate complying with a
specification at the quarry may foil to do so when if is in the pavement.

The standard amount of impact is produced by a known weight, i.e. a steel


cylinder, fatling a set height* a prescribed number Of times, onto an amount Of
aggregate Of standard size and weight retained in a mould. Aggregate Impact Values,
IAIV'S) below 10 are regarded as Strong, and AlV tS above 35 would normally be
regarded os too weak for use in road surfaces. Aggregate Impact Values and Aggregate
Crushing Values are often numerically very similar, and indicate similar aggregate
strength properties. Then. the aggregate impact value gives a relative measure Of the
resistance of on aggregate to sudden shock or impact, which in some aggregates differs
from its resistance to a Slowly applied compressive load. With aggregate OT aggregate
impact value higher than 30 the result maybe anomalous.

EQUIPMENTS:

Aggregate Impact Test Machine according to the British Standard 812: Part I 1990.
BS Sieves of aperture sizes (1 4 mm, 10mm, 2.36 mm)
CYlindricoi metal measure with an internal diameter of 75 ntm and an internal depth of 50 mm.
A straight meiai fornping rod. 10 mm diameter, 230 mm tong rounded at One end.
A balance of capacity not less than 500 g and accurate to g.
A bristle Brush.
A set of tray.
PROCEDURE Aggregate Impact Value

The apparatus consists of a steel test mould with a falling hammer as shown

in Figure l. The hammer slides freely between vertical guides so


arranged thdt the lower part of the hammer is above and concentric
with the mould.
The material used is cggtegcte passing a 14 mm sieve and retained on a 10 mm sieve. It
shall be clean and dry (washed if necessary) but it musi not be died for longer 4 hours nor ci a
temperature higher than 110 cc, Otherwise certain aggregates may be damaged, Weight a
clean cylindrical metal container and denote it qs WI fill up the cylindrical metal container
with aggegates in three (3) simnar layers. Each layer shall be tamped 25 times with a 10 mm
rounded end tamping rod by allowing the tamping rod to fall freely from a height of about SO
mm above the surface of the aggregate and the blows being evenly distibuted over the surface.
Remove, by rolling the tamping rod across and in confaci with the top of the container; any
aggregate which impedes its progress. Aggregate being added to fill any obvious
depressions,
Weight the mass of aggregate in the cylindrical metat container (W2). Determine the mass of
the uncrushed sample alone as W' in which: W3 W2 - WI.
fix and secure the cylindrical metal container containing the whole of the test sample in it in
position on the base of the machine.
vii. The test sample is subjected to 15 blows of the hammer dropping 381 mm. each being
delivered at an interval not less than one second,
Unsecure the cylindrical metal container containing the whole of the crushed test sample
and weight them, Determine the mass of the crushed sample (M J.
ixa Sieve the whole of he sample in the tray on lhe 2,36 mm BS test sieve unfil no further
signicant amount passes in 3 minutes, Weight the fractions passing (M2J and retained
(M3} on the sieve to an accuracy of Oil g, And total mass M2 + M3 is less than the
initial mass (Ml) by more than 1 g, diseard the result and make a fresh fest,
