Shape Test
- Flakiness Index: The flakiness index of aggregate is the percentage of the mass of the aggregates whose least dimension is less than 0.6 times the mean dimension. The flakiness test is applicable to aggregates of size larger than 6.3 mm.
Elongation Index
The elongation index of aggregates is the percentage by weight of the particles whose longest dimension (i.e. length) is greater than 1.8 times the mean dimension
