Concrete Aggregate Properties

To establish suitability for use in Agency concrete, MnDOT performs testing to determine various aggregate properties on concrete aggregate sources in accordance with MnDOT Specifications 3126, 3131, and 3137.

Concrete Aggregate Properties Include:   

  • OD SPG - Oven Dry Specific Gravity
  • SSD SPG - Saturated Surface Dry Specific Gravity
  • ABS - Absorption
  • FM - Sand Fineness Modulus
  • ASR - Alkali Silica Reactivity: 14-Day Unmitigated Results
  • CLASS - Aggregate Class: A, B, C, D or R
