Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a sample aggregate that weighs 1200g. After the crushing test, the weight of the material passing the 2.36 mm sieve is 360g. Calculate the aggregate crushing value and determine if the sample meets standards for use.
💡 Hint: Use the formula: ACV = (passing weight / original weight) x 100.
You want to compare two different aggregates for use in surface courses. Aggregate A has a crushing value of 28% and Aggregate B has a crushing value of 32%. Discuss which aggregate is more suitable for use.
💡 Hint: Remember the acceptable limits for pavements.
