| Sieve Analysis |
Determines particle size distribution of fine and coarse aggregates using sieves of standard sizes. |
To assess grading and compliance with specifications. |
| Flakiness Index |
Measures the percentage of flaky particles in aggregates. |
To ensure shape characteristics within acceptable limits. |
| Elongation Index |
Measures the percentage of elongated particles in aggregates. |
To reduce chances of weak interlock in concrete. |
| Specific Gravity and Water Absorption |
Determines specific gravity and water absorption of aggregates. |
For mix design and strength prediction. |
