1.0 . Test :
 Aggregate Impact Value BS 812 : Part 112 1990

2.0 . Objective :
 To determine the impact value in aggregate used in various pavement designs.

3.0 . Introduction :

Aggregate is used to describe the gravels, crushed stones & other materials
which are mixed with cement & water to make concrete.

The functions of aggregate in concrete is as a mass particle which are suitable for
resisting action of applied load, abrasion & percolation of moisture and the action of weather.

Aggregate is form 75% of the volume of concrete, so chosen the suitable materials
is important & also aggregate should contain no constituent material which might have
adverse affect of the hardening of cement or the durability of hardened cement.

Then, this test aggregate impact value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an
aggregate to sudden shock or impact , which in some aggregate differs from its resistance to
a slowly applied compressive load. With aggregate of aggregate impact value higher than 30
the result maybe anomalous.

7.0. Analysis data

5.1 .Mass of uncrushed Sample (W3) : W2-W1

SAMPLE 1 : 2138 – 1608 = 530

SAMPLE 2 : 2168 – 1608 = 560

SAMPLE 3 : 2179 – 1608 = 571

5.2 .Mass of crushed sample (M1) : Mass of container & crushed sample – W1

SAMPLE 1 : 2136 – 1608 = 528

SAMPLE 2 : 2166 – 1608 = 558

SAMPLE 3 : 2178 – 1608 = 570

5.3 . Aggregate Impact Value percentage (AIV)

AIV = ( M2 ÷ M1 ) × 100 %

SAMPLE 1 : ( 48 ÷ 528 ) × 100 % = 9.09%

SAMPLE 2 : ( 32 ÷ 558 ) × 100 % = 5.44%

SAMPLE 3 : ( 38 ÷ 570 ) × 100 % = 6.67%

5.4 . AIV Average

9.09 % + 5.44 % + 6.67 % = 7.07%

8.0. Discussion

1) Discuss the importance of this test.

 The importance of this test is to determine the impact value in aggregate used in various
pavement designs. It also to determine whether to classification it is in a category.

2) Outline the usage of AIV representation in pavement design.

 This test aggregate impact value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate
to sudden shock or impact , which in some aggregate differs from its resistance to a
slowly applied compressive load. With aggregate of aggregate impact value higher than
30 the result maybe anomalous.

3) State the permissible is value of AIV required by JKR and explain what would have
happened if the specified value is not met.
 The permissible value of AIV required by JKR is less than 15 %, and if the specified
value is not met then it is not suitable for construction of pavement and can be make it for
others function.

9.0 Conclusionn

As we know aggregate can be classified into two type which is fine aggregate and course
aggregate. Beside that aggregate also can classified by it unit weight and are group into 3 which
is normal aggregate consist of rushed rock, sand and gravel, broken bricks. Second is light
weight aggregate consist pumice , expanded shale, expanded clay. And the last one is heavy
weight aggregate consist magnetite, hematite and limonite.

In our result for this test for the first sample is it AIV percentage is 9.09 % classified as.
For this sample we get a very accuracy result for mass of crushed sample (M1) after plus M2
and M3 which is 474 g. Next, for the second sample is it AIV percentage is 5.44% and it can be
classified as andesite, felsites and dolerite. For this sample we get also a very accuracy result for
mass of crushed sample (M1) after plus M2 and M3 which is 518 g. Last for the third sample is
it AIV percentage is also 6.67 % and it can be classified as andesite, felsites and dolerite. For this
sample we get a result for mass of crushed sample (M1) after plus M2 and M3 which is 528 g.
This result is not match 100 % to M1 and only 0.5 not accurate. All our result is suitable for
construct pavement designs.

This result making us get an average for 7.07 % ( AIV average).
