Desirable Properties of Road Aggregates. 1. Strength. The aggregates to be used in road construction, particularly the aggregates used in the wearing course of the pavement should be sufficiently strong/ resistant to crushing to withstand the high stresses induced due to heavy traffic wheel loads. 2.

WBM road means water bound macadam road. The wearing surface of WBM road consist of clean and crushed aggregates which are mechanically interlocked by rolling operation. The material is bound with filler material (which are also called as screenings) and water, laid on prepared base course. Materials Required For WBM Road Construction.

Therefore, aggregates used in road construction must be hard enough to resist Abrasion. The resistance offered by the aggregate to Abrasion is determined in the laboratory by the Los Angeles testing machine.. The Los Angeles abrasion test's working principle is to produce abrasive action using standard steel balls, which, when mixed with aggregates and spun in a drum for a specified time for ...

Water bound macadam (WBM) is a road layer consisting of crushed aggregates (stone particles) which are interlocked by rolling. Void space between the aggregates is filled with filler material (such as clayey sand) which acts as a binder. Water is applied before rolling. The concept of WBM was developed by John Macadam in the past.

When vehicles move on the road, the soil particles present between the pneumatic tyres and road surface cause abrasion of road aggregates. The steel rimmed wheels of animal driven vehicles also cause considerable abrasion of the road surface. Therefore, the road aggregates should be hard enough to resist abrasion.

When cars travel on the road, the soil particles between the pneumatic tyres and the road surface cause the road aggregates to abrade. Additionally, the steel-rimmed wheels of animal-driven vehicles abrade the road surface significantly. As a result, road aggregates should be sufficiently resistant to withstand abrasion.

Crushed stones, crushed slag, kankar, laterite or over burnt bricks can be used as aggregates. Aggregates should be chemically stable and water absorption should not exceed 10 percent.

Lateral confinement of aggregates The aggregates in WBM are confined because if they are placed on the subgrade, there are possibilities that the aggregates may come out due to the load of traffic.

The crushing strength or aggregate crushing value of a given road aggregate is found out as per IS-2386 Part- 4. The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of resistance to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. To achieve a high quality of pavement aggregate possessing low aggregate crushing value should be preferred.
