A DURABILITY TEST FOR AGGREGATES
A LABORATORY QUALITY CONTROL TEST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO MEASURE THE MECHANICAL DURABILITY OF CALIFORNIA AGGREGATES IN TERMS OF A DURABILITY INDEX. THE DEGRADATION TEST WAS DEVELOPED TO MEASURE THE BREAKDOWN OF AGGREGATE THAT WOULD OCCUR DURING CONSTRUCTION AND UNDER NORMAL TRAFFIC. THE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES USED ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE SAND EQUIVALENT AND CLEANNESS VALUE TESTS. THE TEST RESULTS ARE CORRELATED WITH THE BEHAVIOR OF THE AGGREGATES IN THE FIELD.
