Aggregate Testing

Fine Aggregate Angularity (FAA) (20)


Description
Welcome to the Fine Aggregate Angularity course. This course describes the fine aggregate angularity (FAA) test, a method of determining the angularity of fine aggregate, which is important in determining hot mix asphalt mixture susceptibility to deformation under load (rutting). This includes a discussion on the origins of this test, the alternate compacted aggregate resistance test, alternate video imaging tests, a description of the current uncompacted voids test method, and an examination of typical results.
