Aggregate" is a collective term for the mineral materials such as sand, gravel and crushed stone that are used with a binding medium (such as water, bitumen, portland cement, lime, etc.) to form compound materials (such as asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete).
The contribution of coarse aggregate in transferring the stresses in high-strength concrete (HSC) is very important. The microcrack formation and its growth at the interface are significantly influenced by the bond strength and fracture toughness. Since the mortar–aggregate interface in HSC is stronger, cracks transmit into the aggregate.

Anatomically, the asymmetric aggregate structure (vascular bundles) of fibers in the outer layer of bamboo is the main reason for the difference in flexibility and flexural toughness under bending direction and that asymmetric difference gradually disappeared when approaching the inner layer due to the substantially symmetrical structure of ...
Sulfate Soundness Test. The soundness test determines an aggregate's resistance to disintegration by weathering and, in particular, freeze-thaw cycles.
Therefore it is essential to check that the aggregate used on the road construction has sufficient impact bearing capacity & stability otherwise known as toughness. What is the aggregate impact value test? A relative measure of the resistance of aggregate due to the sudden shock or impact on it is called aggregate impact value.
The property by which the aggregates are capable of resisting the impact is known as toughness. The road aggregates are subjected to subsequent impact due to the movement of vehicles. Hence, the road aggregates should possess sufficient toughness to withstand such an impact. ... General Test Procedure of Impact Test of Aggregate ...

The Los Angeles abrasion test is a critical evaluation of aggregate toughness and its ability to withstand various forms of abrasion, including crushing, degradation, and disintegration. As vehicles traverse roadways, the abrasive interaction between the pneumatic tires and the road's surface introduces wear on aggregates.
