A TEST FOR EVALUATING THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF COARSE AGGREGATE PARTICLES

A TEST METHOD IS DESCRIBED BY WHICH THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS, EMBRACING SHAPE, ANGULARITY, AND SURFACE TEXTURE OF COARSE AGGREGATES MAY BE QUANTITATIVELY EVALUATED. THE TEST HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AS AN OUTGROWTH OF AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION IN WHICH AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DEVISE A SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR THE EVALUATION OF COARSE AGGREGATES FOR USE IN SOIL-AGGREGATE ROAD CONSTRUCTION. THE RESULTING TEST VALUE IS EXPRESSED AS THE PARTICLE INDEX OF THE AGGREGATE.
