Is the combined flakiness and elongation index of aggregate is the numerical sum of separate elongation index and flakiness index. The elongation index test procedure contains following steps. The presence of flaky or elongated particles in excess of 1015% of the weight of coarse aggregate is undesirable. Determination of the flakiness and the elongation index for the given aggregate. Methods of test for aggregates for concrete, part i. While elongation index test is used to determine the quantity of aggregate particles that are elongated instead of cubicle in shape. It is the percentage by weight of flaky particles in a sample. Exp 1 flakiness and elongation index civil engineers pk. This test is not applicable for sizes smaller than 6. Pdf determination of the flakiness and the elongation index for. Take the aggregate sample which contains minimum 200 pieces of any fraction. Sieve the sample through the is sieves as specified in.
Flakiness and elongation test of aggregate as per is 2386. In this experiment, flakiness index was used as independent variables and other properties such as gradation are kept constant as far as their properties met the specification required for the asphalt mixture. Both flakiness and elongation tests are not applicable to sizes smaller than 6. Elongation index aggregate particles are classified as elongation when they have a length. Pdf determination of the flakiness and the elongation. The flakiness index is the total weight of the material passing the various thickness gauges or sieves, expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the sample gauged. Thus, evaluation of shape of the particles, particularly with reference to flakiness and elongation is necessary.
Objective particle shape and surface texture influence the properties of freshly mixed concrete more than the properties of hardened concrete.
