Flakiness and Elongation Index Test of Coarse Aggregate

Flakiness Index = weight of aggregate retained on length gauge of 10 mm to 6.3 mm (W2) / Total weight of aggregate sample taken (W1) = (W2/W1) x 100. For example, the Weight of aggregate retained on length gauge of 10 mm to 6.3mm(W2) = 150 gm, and Total weight of aggregate sample = 1000 gm. Elongation Index = (150 gm / 1000 gm) x 100 = 15%
