Governing Testing Standards:IS 2386 (Part 1 to 4)IS 383ASTM C131BS 812

Service Overview & Scope

Laboratory testing of coarse aggregates at ATLES ensures that crushed stone meets strict strength, toughness, shape, and durability criteria for concrete and road pavement construction.

Engineering Purpose

To verify physical and mechanical properties of coarse aggregates for load-bearing applications.

Key Civil Engineering Applications

Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) Mix Design
Bituminous Concrete & WMM Highway Layers
Railway Ballast Quality Verification
Precast Concrete Production

Testing Methodology & Field Execution

1

Sieve analysis to determine particle size distribution and fineness modulus.

2

Determination of Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) and Aggregate Impact Value (AIV).

3

Los Angeles Abrasion test for resistance to wear and surface degradation.

4

Flakiness and Elongation Index determination using standard thickness and length gauges.

Laboratory & Field Equipment

Mechanical Sieve Shaker & IS Sieves
Aggregate Impact Tester
Aggregate Crushing Cylinder & Plunger
Los Angeles Abrasion Machine

Engineering Significance

Superior aggregate properties enhance concrete compressive strength and pavement skid resistance.
