 EXPERIMENTAL FINDINGS OF LOS ANGELES ABRASION TEST OF
GIVEN SAMPLE OF COARSE AGGREGATE

Observations:
Total weight of Aggregate of Dry
Sample(W1)g 5000g
Weight of Portion passing 1.75 mm Sieve
(W2)g 1900g
Los Angeles abrasion
value(%)=(W2/W1)x100 38%

Result:
Los Angeles abrasion value = 38 %

Recommended values:

Sl. Max. permissible abrasion

Type of Pavement
No. value in %

1 Water bound macadam sub base course 60

2 WBM base course with bituminous surfacing 50

3 Bituminous bound macadam 50

4 WBM surfacing course 40

5 Bituminous penetration macadam 40

Bituminous surface dressing, cement concrete

6 35
surface course

7 Bituminous concrete surface course 30

It shows that the sample is good for all the above type of pavements except bituminous concrete surface
course.
