Conclusions and SummaryConclusions and Summary

• APA AbrasionB i i i d ffi i biliBest sensitivity and sufficient repeatabilityStudded steel wheels and high load increased the severity of abrasion.

S f Ab i• Surface AbrasionUnable to differentiate between all the mixtures.Unfavorably low weight loss valuesLonger test period and/or bigger abraded area recommended

•33


Conclusions and SummaryConclusions and Summary

• Cantabro TestFairly good sensitivity and repeatabilityHigh weight loss valuesNot so effective in evaluating of the abrasion gresistance

Failure due to impact rather than abrasion• Improve Abrasion Resistance of PCPC• Improve Abrasion Resistance of PCPC

Use small size aggregate Add latex
