FLAKINESS INDEX TEST OF COARSE AGGREGATE
FLAKINESS INDEX TEST OF COARSE AGGREGATE AIM: To determine the Flakiness Index of the coarse aggregate. APPARATUS REQUIRED: 1. Metal Gauge 2. IS Sieve 3. Weighing Balance PROCEDURE: 1. Perform the Sieve analysis on the given aggregate sample. 2. The minimum of 200 pieces of each fraction is taken and weighed. 3. Each of the particles fractions of aggregate is tried to passing through the slot of the thickness gauge. 4. The weight of aggregates passing on each gauge is measured. OBSERVATION: Sl. No Size Of Aggregate Thickness of the gauge (mm) Weight of aggregate passing through Thickness gauge (g) Passing Through IS Sieve (mm) Retaining on IS Sieve (mm) 1 50 40 27 2 40 25 19.5 3 25 20 13.5 4 20 16 10....
