Consider what happens when something hard hits something else.
Given an aggregate sample fails the soundness test by losing 20% of its weight after five cycles, what does this indicate about its suitability for use in road construction?
Recall the acceptable limits for soundness.
If an aggregate has high flakiness and elongation indices but passes the abrasion and crushing tests, how would that impact its performance in real-world applications?
