Elongation Test of an Aggregate

-

Elongation test is an important test of an aggregate. Because, aggregate is an important ingredient of concrete. Aggregate is how much elongated, it will acceptable or not as per their acceptance criteria, it will known by elongation test. I am representing here elongation test of an aggregate.

Elongation Index:-If aggregate least dimension is greater than 4/5th or 0.8 times its mean dimension, then it is called elongated.

Used IS Sieve:-

25 mm

20 mm

16 mm

12.5 mm

10 mm

6.3 mm

Teat Procedure:-

(i) The aggregate of 200 pieces which is kept separately.

(ii) Now, weight of 200 pieces and suppose weight=2187 gm. Then it will mention in the format.

(iii) Elongation gauge will kept on a pan.Which aggregate will pass through this gauge, will fall fall in the bottom pan and whichever is not passes, will kept in separate pan/lid.

(iv) Passing range will be 20 to 16 mm. We will consider that longest/largest part of the aggregate will passes front. Same type we will check 200 nos.

(v) Retaining aggregate i.e. which was not passed, taken weight and note in format.Now weight=266 gm (retained particle)

(vi) Now, we will continuing this testing of each sieve retaining aggregate.  


Format (Example):-

Passing through IS Sieve          (in mm)

Retained through IS Sieve                (in mm)

Wt. of fraction consisting of at least 200 pieces

Length of gauge size (0.8 times the mean sieve)

Wt. of aggregate in each fraction passing through the thickness gauge

As per IS code 383:2016, page no.-3, clause no.-5.3, the combined flakiness and elongation index so obtained shall not exceed 40 percent for uncrushed or crushed aggregate.

"Sewer Network Analysis"

The word sewerage is made from sewer. The word sewer indicates the usable water which is received from kitchen, bathroom and outfall from toilet/W.C. Every large or small city was held at sea, river and lake and it was planned at initial stage of the project planning, that the dirty water of homes and industries was dumped in that water source easily. Many years passed the dirty water from these utilities are dumped in the nearest source and that source water was make too poisons. Many aquatic life is survive in water and when dirty water is mixed with water source the biological cycle was affected and fishes and other animals population was decreases. Image Source:Pexels.com In that case population of human is also increases continuously and after that level of water source was decreases and we faced many problems continuously. Then sewer network is introduced. Outlet from all homes are connected to lateral lines means the water of kitchen, bathroom and water closet are co...

When the energy received by earth from the sun is known as “solar energy”. Solar energy is comes under renewable energy. Solar radiation is the utilized by the solar plates for further use. The working procedure of solar system is capture, convert and then distribution. Image Source:Pexels.com Solar system is categorized in two parts:- (1.)   Passive Solar: -   In this system the selected material have light dispersion properties and designing spaces that the circulate air naturally. This system reduces the need for alternative resourcs and generally focuses on demand side technologies. (2.)   Active Solar:- This system is based on photovoltaic modules (i.e. also known as photovoltaic panels) and collectors of solar thermal system to convert sun light into their useful output. Its increases the supply of energy. Image Source:Pexels.com Recent Post: Different energy sources Working Procedure:- In this system with the u...
