This document discusses abrasion testing of aggregate samples to determine suitability for construction. It describes abrasion as the wearing away of rock surfaces through friction from moving particles like rocks, sand, and water. The test procedure involves placing an aggregate sample and metal spheres into a Los Angeles abrasion machine, rotating it for 500 rounds, then sieving the sample to determine the percentage weight loss, with higher loss indicating less suitability for applications where abrasion resistance is important.

Abrasion is known as process of scraping or wearing something away, technically speaking;
abrasion in geology is the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind, waves, gravity, running water or erosion. The intensity of this erosion effect depends on the hardness, concentration, velocity and mass of the moving particles.
Objective
To choose the best type of aggregate due to abrasion value.
Standard Reference
ASTM-C-131
Material
Aggregate Sample (5000g)
Apparatus and Equipment
- Los-Angeles Abrasion Resistance Test
Procedure
- Place Aggregate sample into los-angles machine
- Place No. of Specified sphere - Allow cylinder to rotate 500 rounds - After test is finished : Remove metal sphere - Drop Aggregate sample into metal tray - Sieve Aggregate sample after test, on sieve no.12 (1.7mm) weight of aggregate passing sieve no.12: Loss
