9、 19.0 mm (3/4in.), 12.5 mm (1/2in.), 9.5 mm (3/8in.), and 4.75 mm (No. 4). 3.2. Shape Properties for Each Retained Sieve (x): 3.2.1. gradient angularity (GA)applies to both fine and coarse aggregate sizes and is related to the sharpness of the corners of two-dimensional images of aggregate particles

10、 The gradient angularity quantifies changes along a particle boundary with higher gradient values indicating a more angular shape. Gradient angularity has a relative scale of 0 to 10,000, with a perfect circle having a value of 0. Gradient Angularity: 331113niiiGAn+= (1) where: = angle of orientati

12、 too small to affect the overall shape. Texture has a relative scale of 0 to 1000 with a smooth polished surface approaching a value of 0.

13、 detailed images, j = wavelet index, and x, y = location of the coefficients in transformed domain. 3.2.3. sphericity (SP)applies to coarse aggregate sizes only and describes the overall three-dimensional shape of a particle. Sphericity has a relative scale of 0 to 1. A sphericity value of one indic
