AS 1141.24:2018 PDF

This Standard sets out the method for testing aggregates to determine the loss of mass due to disintegration when exposed to sodium sulfate solutions over repeated cycles of wetting and drying.

This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee CE-012, Aggregates and Rock for Engineering Purposes, to supersede AS 1141.24—2013.

The Standard furnishes information helpful in judging the soundness of aggregate subject to weathering action, particularly when adequate information is not available from service records of the material exposed to actual weathering conditions.
