7.2.4.4 Test procedure. Dry the test sample in shallow trays in the oven for 24 f 0.5 h, at a temperature of 105 f 5 "C, cool and weigh it (mass A).

Then place the test sample in the container and add enough water to cover it. Agitate the contents of the container vigorously and immediately pour the wash water over the sieves, which have previously been wetted on both sides and arranged with the coarser sieve on top.

The agitation shall be sufficiently vigorous to result in the complete separation from the coarse particles of all particles finer than the 75 pm BS test sieve, and to bring the fine material into suspension in order that it will be removed by decantation of the wash water. Take care to avoid, as far as possible, decantation of the coarse particles of the sample. Repeat the operation until the wash water is clear. Return all material retained on the sieves to the washed sample. Dry the washed aggregate as before, cool and weigh it (mass B). 7.2.4.5 Calculfitions. The results shall be calculated from the following equation :

Percentage of material passing a 75 pm BS

A is the mass of oven-dried sample (g) ; B is the mass of portion retained on the 75 pm

7.2.4.6 Reporting of results. The amount of material finer than a 75 pm BS test sieve shall be reported as a percentage to the nearest whole number above 10 %, to the nearest 0.5 % between and including 10 % and 0.5 %, and to the nearest O. 1 % below 0.5 %. 7.2.5 Fieldsettling test. This is an approximate volumetric method, which has its main application in the routine checking of supplies of sand from a given source, when the results can be correlated with those obtained by the decantation method; it is not applicable to crushed stone sands or coarse aggregates.

The test is intended as no more than a guide to ' L the percentage of silt and clay, since the result will vary according to the fineness and type of clay.

Prepare a 1 % solution of sodium chloride (common salt) in water. Two teaspoonsful of salt to 1 litre of water will suffice. Pour 50 ml of this solution into a 250 ml measuring cylinder, Gradually add sand in the condition as received until the volume of the sand is about 100 ml. Then make up the volume to 150 ml by the addition of more salt solution.

Shake the mixture vigorously until adherent clayey particles have been dispersed, and then place the cylinder on a level bench and gently tap until the surface of the sand is level.

After three hours standing the height of the silt visible above the sand-silt interface shall be expressed as a percentage of the height of the sand below the interface to the nearest whole number.

7.5 Determination of angularity number 7.5.1 General. The angularitynumber is determined from the proportion of voids in a sample of aggregate after compaction in the specified manner. This property is used mainly in the design of mix proportions and in research.

Angularity or absence of rounding of the particles of an aggregate is a property which is of importance because it affects the ease of handling of a mixture of aggregate and binder (e.g. the workability of concrete) or the stability of mixtures that rely on the interlocking of the particles. The least angular (most rounded) aggregates are found to have about 33 % voids and the angularity number is defined as the amount by which the percentage of voids exceeds 33. The angularity number ranges from O to about 12.

Since considerably more compactive effort is used

than in the test for bulk density and voids (see 6.1 of Part 2) the percentage of voids will be different. Weaker aggregates may be crushed during compaction and the results will be anomalous if this method is applied to any aggregate which breaks down during the test.

7.5.2 Sampling. The sample for this test shall be taken in accordance with BS 8 12 : Part 102. I 7.5.3 Apparatus. The following apparatus is required. 7.5.3.1 A metal cylinder closed at one end, of about 0.003 m3 volume, the diameter and height of which should be approximately equal (e.g. 150 mm and 150 mm).

The cylinder shall be made from metal of a thickness not less than 3 mm and shall be of sufficient rigidity to retain its shape under rough usage. 7.5.3.2 A straight metal tamping rod of circular cross section 16 mm in diameter and 600 mm long rounded at one end. 7.5.3.3 A balance or scale of capacity 10 kg, accurate to I g. 7.5.3.4 A metal scoop approximately 200 mm x 120 mm x 50 mm (Le. about 1 litre heaped capacity). 7.5.3.5 BSperforated-plate test sieves from 20.0 mm to 5.00 mm aperture size (but see note to 7.5.5(a)). 7.5.4 Calibration of the cylinder. The cylinder shall be calibrated by determining to the nearest gram the mass of water at 20 f 2 “C required to fill it SQ

that no meniscus is present above the rim of the container (mass C).

7.5.5 Prcpmitioii qf‘rhe test sariiple. The test sample shall be prepared as follows,

(a) The amount of aggregate available shall be sufficient to provide, after separation on the appropriate pair of sieves, at least 10 kg of the predominant size as determined by sieve analysis on the BS test sieves.

20.0 mm and 14.0 mm; 14.0 mm and 10.0 mm; 10.0 mm and 6.30 mm; 6.30 mm and 5.00 mm.

The test sample shall consist of aggregate

NOTE. In testing aggregates larger than 20.0 mm the volume of the cylinder should be greater than 0.003 m3, but for aggregates smaller than 5.00 mm a smaller cylinder may be used. The procedure should be the same as with the 0.003 m3 cylinder, except that the amount of compactive effort (mass of tamping rod x height of fall x number of blows) should be proportioned to the volume of rhccylinder used. (b) The aggregate to be tested shall be dried for at least 24 h in shallow trays in a well ventilated oven at a temperature of 105 f 5 OC, cooled in an airtight container and tested.

7.5.6 Testprocedure. Fill the scoop and heap it to overflowing with the aggregate, which shall be placed in the cylinder by allowing it to slide gently off the scoop from the least height possible.

Subject the aggregate in the cylinder to 100 blows of the tamping rod at a rate of about two blows per second. .4pply each blow by holding the rod vertical with its rounded end 50 mm above the surface of the aggregate and releasing it so that it falls freely. Do not apply any force to the rod. Evenly distribute the 100 blows over the surface of the aggregate.

Repeat the process of filling and tamping exactly as described above with a second and third layer of aggregate; the third layer shall contain just sufficient aggregate to fill the cylinder level with the top edge before tamping.

tamped, fill the cylinder to overflowing, and strike off the aggregate level with the top, using the tamping rod as a straight-edge.

Then add individual pieces of aggregate and ‘roll them in’ to the surface by rolling the tampingrod

After the third layer of aggregate has been

across the upper edge of the cylinder, and continue this finishing process as long as the aggregate does not lift the rod off the edge of the cylinder on either side. Do not push in or otherwise force down the aggregate, and apply no downward pressure to the tamping rod, which shall roll in contact with the metal on both sides of the cylinder.
