I
12、t forms part of a general revision of the 1975 edition of BS812. As each of the tests, or collection of tests is revised, it will be issued as a separate Part or Section of this standard. The method described in this revision has not been changed technically from that given in BS 812-3:1975, but has
13、 been amended editorially to align it with other Parts in this series. It is intended that other British Standards should call up BS 812 test methods as the basis for compliance. Nevertheless it is not intended that all aggregates should be subjected to all the listed tests. Specifications in other
14、standards should call up only relevant test methods. Some of the tests in other Parts of BS812 are of limited application and advice on the use of simpler tests is given, for example, when they can be used for a preliminary sorting of aggregates to see whether more extensive testing is justified. Re
15、ference should be made to BS812-101:1984 for general guidance on testing aggregates, precision of test methods and variance arising from sampling errors. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their co
16、rrect application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see copy
17、right date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on theinside front cover.BS 812-110:1990 BSI 12-1998 1 1 Scope This Part of BS812 describes a method for the determination of the aggregate crushing value (ACV) which gives a relative measure of the r
18、esistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. The method is applicable to aggregates passing a14.0mm test sieve and retained on a 10.0 mm test sieve. For other size fractions, a recommended method is described in appendix A. The method is not suitable for testing
19、aggregates with an aggregate crushing value higher than30, and in such cases the method for ten per cent fines value described in BS 812-111 is applicable. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this Part
20、 of BS 812 the definitions given in BS 812-100, BS 812-101 and BS812-102 apply. 3 Principle A test specimen is compacted in a standardized manner into a steel cylinder fitted with a freely moving plunger. The specimen is then subjected to a standard loading regime applied through the plunger. This a
21、ction crushes the aggregate to a degree which is dependent on the crushing resistance of the material. This degree is assessed by a sieving test on the crushed specimen and is taken as a measure of the aggregate crushing value (ACV). 4 Sampling The sample used for the test (the laboratory sample) sh
22、all be taken in accordance with the procedure described in clause 5 of BS 812-102:1989. 5 Apparatus NOTEAll apparatus should comply with the general requirements of BS 812-100. 5.1 A steel cylinder, open-ended, of nominal 150 mm internal diameter with plunger and baseplate of the general form and di
23、mensions shown in Figure 1 and given in Table 1. The surfaces in contact with the aggregate shall be machined and case hardened, or otherwise treated, so as to have a hardness value of not less than 650 HV, in accordance with BS 427, and shall be maintained in a smooth condition.

26、 temperature of 105 5 C. 5.6 A compression testing machine, capable of applying any force up to 400 kN and which can be operated to give a uniform rate of loading so that this force is reached in 10 min (see 7.2). The machine shall comply with the requirements of BS1610 for a grade 1 or a grade 2 ma
27、chine.The machine may be used with or without a spherical seating. NOTEAlthough the maximum force applied to this test is400kN it may be more convenient to use a compression testing machine capable of applying any force up to 500 kN as is required for the ten per cent fines test described in BS 812-
28、111. 5.7 A cylindrical metal measure, for measuring the test samples, of sufficient rigidity to retain its form under rough usage and having an internal diameter of 115 1 mm and an internal depth of 180 1 mm 5.8 A rubber mallet. 5.9 A metal tray, of known mass large enough to contain3kg of aggregate
29、. 5.10 A brush, with stiff bristles. 6 Preparation of test portions and specimens 6.1 Reduce the laboratory sample using the procedures described in clause 6 of BS 812-102:1989 to produce a test portion of sufficient mass to produce three test specimens of 14 mm to 10mm size fraction. NOTEA single t
30、est specimen is that quantity of material required to fill the cylinder (see 7.1 and Table 2). Table 2 Guide to minimum mass of test portions required to obtain a suitable mass of material to determine the aggregate crushing value 6.2 Thoroughly sieve the entire surface dry test portion on the 14 mm
31、 and 10 mm test sieves to remove the oversize and undersize fractions. Divide the resulting 14 mm to 10 mm fraction to produce three test specimens each of mass such that the depth of the material in the cylinder is approximately 100 mm after tamping as described in7.1 (see note 1).

35、f aggregate may be found conveniently by filling the cylindrical measure in three layers of approximately equal depth. Tamp each layer 25 times, from a height of approximately 50 mm above the surface of the aggregate, with the rounded end of the tamping rod. Level off using the tamping rod as a stra
36、ightedge. NOTE 2 Mechanical sieving should only be used for aggregates which do not degrade under this action. 6.3 Dry the test specimens by heating at a temperature of 105 5 C for a period of not more than 4 h. Cool to room temperature and record the mass of material comprising the test specimens b
37、efore testing. 7 Procedure 7.1 Place the cylinder of the test apparatus in position on the baseplate and add the test specimen in three layers of approximately equal depth, each layer being subjected to 25 strokes from the tamping rod distributed evenly over the surface of the layer and dropping fro
38、m a height approximately 50 mm above the surface of the aggregate. Carefully level the surface of the aggregate and insert the plunger so that it rests horizontally on this surface. Take care to ensure that the plunger does not jam in the cylinder. 7.2 Place the apparatus, with the test specimen pre
39、pared as described in 6.3 and plunger in position, between the platens of the testing machine and load it at as uniform a rate as possible (see note) so that the required force of 400 kN is reached in10min 30s. NOTEWhen, during the early stages of the test, there is a significant deformation, it may
40、 not be possible to maintain the required loading rate and variations in the loading rate may occur especially at the beginning of the test. These variations should be kept to a minimum with the principal object of completing the test in the overall time of 10 min 30 s. 7.3 Release the load and remo
41、ve the crushed material by holding the cylinder over a clean tray of known mass and hammering on the outside of the cylinder with the rubber mallet until the particles are sufficiently disturbed to enable the mass of the specimen to fall freely on to the tray. NOTEIf this fails to remove the compact
42、ed aggregate other methods may be used but take care not to cause further crushing of the particles. Transfer any particles adhering to the inside of the cylinder, to the baseplate and the underside of the plunger, to the tray by means of a stiff bristle brush. Weigh the tray and the aggregate and d
43、etermine the mass of aggregate used (M 1 ) to the nearest gram. 7.4 Sieve the whole of the test specimen on the tray on the 2.36mm test sieve until no further significant amount passes during a further period of1min. Weigh and record the masses of the fractions passing and retained on the sieve to t
44、he nearest gram (M 2and M 3respectively). If the total mass of the two individual fractions (M 2plus M 3 ) differs from the initial mass (M 1 ) by more than 10g, discard the result and repeat the complete procedure using a new test specimen. NOTE 1In all of the procedures described in 7.3 and 7.4 ta
45、ke care to avoid loss of fines and overloading the sieves. NOTE 2Mechanical sieving should only be used for aggregates which do not degrade under its action. 7.5 Repeat the whole procedure described in 7.1 to7.4 with a second test specimen. 8 Calculation and expression of results 8.1 Calculate the a
46、ggregate crushing value (ACV) expressed as a percentage to the first decimal place, of the mass of fines formed to the total mass of the test specimen from the following equation: where 8.2 Calculate the mean of the two results to the nearest whole number. Report the mean as the aggregate crushing v
47、alue, unless the individual results differ by more than 0.07 times the mean value. In this case repeat the test on two further specimens, calculate the median of the four results to the nearest whole number, and report the median as the aggregate crushing value. NOTEThe median of four results is cal
48、culated by excluding the highest and the lowest result and calculating the mean of the two middle results. 9 Precision 9.1 A precision experiment was carried out involving 14 laboratories. Details of the experiment and the precision data are given in appendix B. 9.2 Uses of precision data are descri
49、bed in clause 5 of BS 812-101:1984. M 1 is the mass of the test specimen (ing); M 2 is the mass of the material passing the2.36 mm test sieve (in g).
