1. SCOPE
This method covers the determination of resistance to degradation of coarse aggregate by abrasion
and impact using the Los Angeles testing machine.
2. RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
2.1 AASHTO T 96 Standard Method of Test for Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size
Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine
2.2 ASTM C131 Standard Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size
Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine
2.3 ASTM C535 Standard Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Large-Size
Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine
2.4 CSA-A23.2-16A Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion
and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine
2.5 CSA-A23.2-17A Resistance to Degradation of Large-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion
and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine
3. PROCEDURE
Procedures of ASTM C131 and C535 shall be followed, except as noted below, for the determination
of degradation of coarse aggregate by abrasion and impact using the Los Angeles testing machine.
4. EXCEPTIONS
4.1 SIEVES: Conforming to ASTM E11, except use 13.2 mm sieve size instead of 12.5 mm.
4.2 Replace ASTM Standard Clause 5.4.1, with Table 1 as follows:
The abrasive charge, depending upon the grading of the test sample as described in Table 2, shall
be as follows:
Table 1
* Material previously separated into individual sizes shall be recombined in proportion to the original or
laboratory crushed gradation.
6. REPORT
The report shall also include the following:
6.1 The percent loss of the reference sample, tested closest to the time at which the aggregate
sample was tested, to one decimal place.
6.2 The percent loss of the last 2 samples of reference material on a control chart.
