Aggregate crushing value test ACV Satisfactory resistance to crushing under the roller during building and adequate resistance to surface abrasion under traffic are the main mechanical properties needed for road stone under modern conditions MARKWICK and SHERGOLD 1945 The range of the crushing values is found to be % to 47
In general the crushing value of RCA is higher than that of is mostly due to the cement mortar which has been wrapped around the surface of the RCA Cement mortar is a fragile particle of low strength and it is easily broken [35 46] There are interface micro cracks between the cement mortar and the aggregate as well as weak stress parts [34]
