The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) is a crucial test to determine the strength and durability of aggregates used in road construction. It measures the resistance of aggregates to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load.<\/p>\n

Standard Test Method
\nThe ACV test is conducted as per IS 2386 (Part 4) – 1963 or BS 812-110:1990.<\/p>\n

\"aggregate Procedure Summary
\n1. A sample of aggregates (passing 12.5mm sieve and retained on 10mm sieve) is filled in a cylindrical mold.
\n2. A load of 40 tonnes is applied gradually over 10 minutes.
\n3. The crushed material is sieved through a 2.36mm sieve.
\n4. The percentage weight of fines passing the sieve gives the ACV.<\/p>\n

Acceptable ACV for Roads
\n– For bituminous (flexible) pavements:
\n – Base & Sub-base layers: \u2264 30% (preferably \u2264 25%)
\n– For rigid pavements (concrete roads):
\n – \u2264 30% for lower layers, \u2264 25% for high-quality concrete <\/p>\n

Interpretation
\n– Lower ACV \u2192 Stronger, more durable aggregate \u2192 Better road performance.
\n– Higher ACV \"aggregate Weak aggregate \u2192 Prone to crushing under traffic loads.<\/p>\n

Factors Affecting ACV
\n– Rock type (e.g., granite > limestone)
\n– Aggregate shape & texture
\n– Moisture content<\/p>\n
