The document reports the results of a test to determine the flakiness index of aggregate material. The test sieved the material through various sieve sizes and measured the mass retained and passing through each sieve. It then calculated the total mass and flakiness index, which is the percentage of total mass passing, for each sieve size fraction. An example calculation is shown for one fraction showing how the flakiness index is determined by dividing the mass passing by the total mass and multiplying by 100.

1. Total Mass = Mass Retained + Mass Passing = 1120 + 200 = 1320 gm. 2. Flakiness Index Total Mass Passing = Total Mass x 100 240 = x 100 1530 = 15.69 %
