If aggregates completely pass through a sieve of size 75 mm and are retained on a sieve of size 60 mm, the particular aggregate will be flaky if its minimum dimension is less than
20.5 mm
30.5 mm
40.5 mm
50.5 mm
none of these.

Flaky aggregate = 3/5 of there's mean dimension.
= (3/5) *{(75+60) /2}.
= (3/5) *(67.5).
= 40.5mm.

Flakiness means 3/5 of mean size of aggregate, therefore it is 40.5.

Since we know.

Flakiness index= .6(3/5)* average size of aggregate((passing size+retained size)/2).
So it is 40.5mm.

Average of 75mm and 60 mm sieve is (75+60)/2=67.5.

For flaky if its minimum dimension is less than 3/5 of 67.5 i.e. 67.5*(3/5) = 40.5mm.

An aggregate is said to be flaky if its least dimension is less that 3-5.

That's why we use 3÷5.

60+75 = 135.

135/2 = 67.5.

3/5*67.5 = 40.5.

(75+60)/2 = 67.5.

67.5*3/5 = 40.5.

I didn't get it why did you multiply by 3.

ITAF HUSSAIN said:   9 years ago
@prahumac we multiply it by 3/5 of its mean dimension

Flaky aggregate is a aggregate having a size less than 60% of average size of the two aggregate.

So now (75+60)/2 = 67.5.

Now 60% of 67.5 is,

That is 67.5*(60/100) = 40.5.
