Test#11 Fineness Modulus


Determination of fitness modulus on fine aggregate (AASHTO M6)


Fitness Modulus results from a calculation on using data from a sieve analysis. The sieves used for sand are typically  the 0.15mm (No.100) 0.30 (No.50) , 0.60mm(No. 30 ) , 1.18mm (No.16) , 2.36mm (No.8) and the 4.75mm (No.4)

Test#7: Flakiness And Elongation in accordance to BS 812-1975


Test#7 : Flakiness and Elongation in accordance to BS 812-1975
-This test method describes of the flakiness index of coarse aggregates that are classified as flaky when they have a thickness  less than 0.6 of their mean size.
-This test method also describes the determination of the elongation of the coarse aggregates that are classified as elongated when they have a length of more than 1.8 of their mean sieve size
