Compressive strength test of cement Aggregate impact value

Data:
Area of standard mould = 200 × 160 mm2 Data:
Cement by sand proportion = 1:3 Weight of Aggregate (A) = 0.668Kg
Quantity of cement = 1.5kg. Weight of aggregate passing through 2.36mm IS Siever (B) = 0.050
Quantity of sand = 4.5 kg Kg
Quantity % of water = (p/4 + 3)
Here P = standard consistency of cement in % = 34% Calculation:
Percentage of water = 34/4+3= 11.5% Impact Value = (B/A) × 100
Quantity of water required = (11.5 × 6000)/100 = 690gm. = (0.050/0.668) × 100
=690 ml = 7.49%

I.S. Requirement:
Impact Value should be less than 30%.
Result:
Impact Value of Aggregate = 7.49%.
Since, Impact value of aggregate is less than 30%
hence, it is ok.
