A STUDY OF THE TEN PER CENT FINES TEST IN RELATION TO AGGREGATE DURABILITY

THE 10 PER CENT FINES VALUE HAS BEEN PART OF BS812 FOR TEN YEARS. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN AUSTRALIA HAVE LEAD TO A CONSIDERATION OF A WET/DRY INDEX AS A MEANS OF PREDICTING AGGREGATE DURABILITY. THIS WORK INVESTIGATES THE EQUATION FOR DRY CONDITIONS AND PREDICTS A NEW EQUATION FOR WET CONDITIONS. THE USE OF AN INDEX AS A PREDICTION OF AGGREGATE DURABILITY IS QUESTIONED AND AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF FINDING THE 10 PER CENT FINES VALUE IS POSTULATED. /AUTHOR/
