The cantabro test is generally used in asphalt mixtures, but I would like to open the discussion of its main applications, and variables that could influence its results.
Contabro test is used to know the abrasion resistance of the hardened concrete specimens in the Los Angeles Testing Machine.The material used in the concrete mixture influence the results of the weight loss like nano silica,iron slag material helps to reduction of weight loss.
Cantabro test is a simple accelerated test method to assess the material loss in compacted pavement mixtures (HMA, CMA, Porous, etc.) due to abrasive action. The test results indirectly indicates the adhesion and cohesion in the mixture. The test is simple and can easily differentiate the effect of density, porosity, polymeric additives, compaction effort, etc. The test results are influenced by initial condition of the test specimens, number and speed of revolution, test duration, number of test specimens (Generally 3 Nos.), modifications in the mixtures.
Cantabro test is commonly used to assess the performance of porous asphalt mixture. The vehicle wheels generate abrasive action on pavement surfacing and lead to material loss which referred to raveling. The raveling resistance or abrasion loss is evaluated
