TESTING AGGREGATES FOR SHAPE

THE PRINCIPLE OF EXISTING METHODS IS STATED AND CONCLUSIONS ARE DRAWN CONCERNING THE REQUIREMENTS OF A SATISFACTORY TEST. THE ARTICLE DESCRIBES A NEW METHOD AND GIVES THE RESULT OF RESEARCH CARRIED OUT ON VARIOUS MATERIALS. IT ASSESSES THIS NEW METHOD AND RELATES THE COEFFICIENT OBTAINED TO CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SHAPE OF AGGREGATES. A NEW COEFFICIENT OF SHAPE IS DEFINED AND THE MAIN OUTLINES OF A CONCISE WORKING METHOD ARE SET OUT. /LCPC/RRL/
