Specific gravity and absorption tests determine mix design parameters, with typical values ranging from 2.4 to 2.9 for specific gravity and 0.5% to 2% for absorption, depending on the aggregate type. Strength tests, such as the aggregate crushing value (ACV) and aggregate impact value (AIV), assess the aggregate's ability to withstand stresses.

the crushing strengths of Recycled Coarse Aggregate concrete with Natural Aggregate concretes. The RCA was obtained from demolished drains and culverts while the Natural Coarse Granite Aggregate was from Akamkpa, Cross River State, Nigeria. Using RCA and NCA of maximum size 20mm, concrete cubes were prepared for compressive strength tests.
Aggregate crushing test is done to find out the strength of aggregate which is the fundamental and essential components of concrete, flexible pavements, etc. More than 70 to 80 per cent of the volume of concrete is aggregate. Aggregates are a very important component of concrete, so the quality really matters when it comes to…

In general, compressive strength of pervious concrete is related to aggregate strength and total porosity. For this research, strength decrease with increased crushing index is due to the increased brick particles. Firstly, the strength of the brick particles is relatively low, about 10–20 MPa, so it affects the function of concrete strength.

Los Angeles abrasion test on aggregates is the measure of aggregate toughness and abrasion resistance such as crushing, degradation and disintegration. This test is carried out by AASHTO T 96 or ASTM C 131: Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine.
Greater is the aggregate crushing value, softer is the aggregate sample and vice versa. This is suggestive of the fact that the resistance of aggregates to crushing is less. Therefore, the strength of such a sample is also less. Aggregates having relatively less ACV can be used in wearing surfaces of pavements. 2)Hardness
