What will be an ideal response?


Abrasion resistance is important when the aggregate is to be used in an area that is subject to heavy abrasive use, such as a factory floor. Aggregate for abrasion resistance is tested following ASTM C131 standards. To give skid resistance, the siliceous particle content of the fine aggregate should be 25 percent or more.
