3. Angular aggregate is widely used in bituminous construction and flexible pavement because it provides a strong bond and good interlocking. These aggregates require more cement paste due to the presence of large number of voids.

**Formulae** - The angularity number shall be calculated by using the formula.

From the solids:

$ Angularity number = 67- {{100 \m W} \over {C \m Ga}} $

Where,
W is the mean weight of aggregate in the cylinder in grams,
C is the weight of water required to fill the cylinder in grams,
Ga is the specific gravity of aggregate.


From the voids:

$ Angularity number = {{Volume of water added} \over {Total volume of cylinder}} -33 $

**Apparatus** -

1. Metal cylinder- Metal cylinder with one end closed, having a capacity of 3 litres. The diameter and height of the cylinder should be approximately equal.

**Formulae** - The angularity number shall be calculated by using the formula.

From the solids:
