GOST 8269.0-97 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 8269.0-97 — "Mountainous rock road-metal and gravel, industrial waste products for construction works. Methods of physical and mechanical tests" (Russian: «Щебень и гравий из плотных горных пород и отходов промышленного производства для строительных работ. Методы физико‑механических испытаний»).

Abstract

This standard specifies procedures for physical and mechanical testing of crushed stone and gravel produced from dense natural rocks and from certain industrial waste products intended for construction works (including use as heavy‑concrete aggregate and for road and other civil engineering applications). It defines sampling, sample preparation and standardized test methods used to determine properties such as particle density, water absorption, mechanical strength and durability characteristics.

General information

• Publication date: Designation year 1997; enacted/published 1 July 1998.
• Publisher: Issued as a GOST (interstate) technical standard (Gosstandart / interstate standards bodies).
• ICS / categories: Construction materials; Mineral materials and products — ICS code ~ 91.100.15.
• Edition / version: Designation GOST 8269.0-97 (original issue, with subsequent amendments recorded by publishers/vendors).

Scope

Applies to crushed stone (road‑metal) and gravel from dense rocks and to selected industrial waste products (for example certain slags) with grain‑density in the approximate range 2.0–3.0 g/cm³, when these materials are intended for use as aggregates in heavy concrete, road construction and other types of building works. The standard establishes the order and methods for performing physical and mechanical tests needed to classify and assess such aggregates for construction use.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of crushed stone and gravel used in construction (natural and certain industrial‑waste origins).
• Sampling principles and sample preparation procedures for laboratory testing.
• Physical property tests: particle (grain) density, bulk density, water absorption and porosity.
• Mechanical tests: compressive/crushing strength, Los Angeles abrasion or equivalent wear resistance tests, and crushing value assessments.
• Durability and frost‑resistance related tests (freeze–thaw behavior, soundness where applicable).
• Requirements and test methods for use of industrial waste/slag aggregates, including acceptance criteria and special considerations for impurities and deleterious materials.
• Reporting format for test results and conformity assessment guidance for use in design and quality control.

Typical use and users

Used by construction material testing laboratories, aggregate producers and suppliers, concrete and asphalt mix designers, civil and geotechnical engineers, road authorities and quality/acceptance inspectors to verify suitability of crushed stone, gravel and permitted industrial waste aggregates for structural, concrete and pavement applications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 8269.0-97 is a GOST (interstate) technical standard that defines methods for physical and mechanical testing of crushed stone and gravel from dense rocks and certain industrial‑waste materials used in construction.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers sampling, sample preparation and standardized laboratory test procedures to determine key physical and mechanical properties of aggregates (density, water absorption, strength, abrasion/wear, durability/frost resistance and related characteristics) intended for heavy concrete, road and other construction uses.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Aggregate producers, material testing laboratories, concrete and pavement designers, contractors, and regulatory/acceptance inspectors who need to verify aggregate quality and compliance for construction projects.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Catalogs and national repositories list GOST 8269.0-97 as an active/acting standard (issued with designation -97 and enacted 1 July 1998). Users should check national/regional standards registries for the current legal status or any later amendments before relying on it for regulatory compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is the “.0” part of the GOST 8269 family; companion parts (for example 8269.1‑97) address additional test types such as chemical analysis and other specific methods. Practitioners typically apply the relevant parts of the series together when assessing aggregates.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Crushed stone, gravel, aggregates, industrial waste aggregates, slag, test methods, density, water absorption, abrasion, frost resistance, GOST 8269.0-97.
