A sample of aggregate is separated using the designated size of screen conforming to the specification controlling the determination of coarse and fine aggregate. The coarse aggregate particles are visually evaluated to deter

7、mine their conformance to the defined fracture. The percentage of conforming particles, by mass, is determined for comparison to standard specifications. 4. APPARATUS 4.1.

9、ed facean angular, rough, or broken surface of an aggregate particle created by crushing, or by other means. A face is considered a “fractured face” whenever one-half or more of the projected area, when viewed normal to that face, is fractured with sharp and well-defined edges (this excludes small n

10、icks). 5.1.2. fractured particlea particle of aggregate having at least the minimum number of fractured faces specified (usually one or two). 6. SAMPLING 6.1. Sample the aggregate in accordance with T 2 and reduce the sample in accordance with T 248. 7. SAMPLE PREPARATION 7.1. Where the specificatio

11、ns list only a total fracture percentage, the sample shall be prepared in accordance with Method 1. When the specifications require that the fracture be counted and reported on each sieve, the sample shall be prepared in accordance with Method 2. 7.2. Method 1Combined Fracture Determination: 7.2.1.

12、Dry the sample sufficiently to obtain a clean separation of fine and coarse material in the sieving operation. Sieve the sample in accordance with T 27 over the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve, or the appropriate sieve listed in the agency specifications for this material. Note 1Where necessary, wash the samp

13、le over the sieve designated for the determination of fractured particles to remove any remaining fine material and dry the sample to a constant mass in accordance with T 255. 7.2.2. Reduce the sample using a splitter in accordance with T 248 to the appropriate size for test. This size of test sampl

14、e should be slightly larger in mass than that shown in Table 1 to account for additional loss of fines after washing.

A washed sample from the gradation determination (T 11 and T 27) may be used. If not, sieve the sample in accordance

17、with T 27 over the appropriate sieves listed in the specifications for this material. Select a representative portion from each sieve by splitting or quartering in accordance with T 248 to the appropriate size for testing. This size of test sample for each sieve should be at least as large as shown

20、 fine material and dry the sample to a constant mass in accordance with T 255. Note 3If fracture is determined on a sample obtained for gradation, use the mass retained on the individual sieves unless less than 5 percent of the total mass is retained on that sieve. In that case, place the material w

21、ith that retained on the next smaller sieve size. If a smaller specification sieve does not exist, this material shall not be included in the fracture determination. 8. PROCEDURE 8.1. Spread the dried, cooled test sample on a clean flat surface large enough to permit careful inspection of each parti

22、cle. To verify that a particle meets the fracture criteria, hold the aggregate particle so that the face is viewed directly. (See Section 5.1.) 8.2. To aid in making the fracture determination, separate the sample into three categories: (1) fractured particles meeting the above criteria, (2) particl

23、es not meeting specification criteria, and (3) questionable or borderline particles. 8.3. Determine the mass of particles in the fractured category, the mass of questionable particles, and the mass of the unfractured particles. 8.4. If on any of the determinations more than 15 percent of the total m

24、ass of the sample is placed in the questionable category, repeat the determination until no more than 15 percent is present in that category. 9. REPORT 9.1. Report the following information: 9.1.1. Calculate the mass percentage of fracture faces to the nearest 1 percent as follows: 2015 by the Ameri
