Question 1

What does the Ten Percent Fines Value (TPFV) measure?

  • The load for producing fines equal to 10% of the aggregate weight
  • The overall strength of concrete
  • The density of aggregates

💡 Hint: Think about what percent value relates to fines.

Question 2

True or False: A high TPFV indicates high-quality aggregates.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens to aggregates under load.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If you have two aggregate samples, one with a TPFV of 15% and another with 30%, which would you choose for a high-durability concrete project? Justify your answer based on TPFV significance.

💡 Hint: Remember, lower TPFV values are desirable.

Question 2

In a recent project, the concrete failed due to poor aggregate quality. Analyze how TPFV testing could have prevented this issue.

💡 Hint: Consider the role of TPFV in quality assurance.
