... 55 In this chapter, comparisons of the aggregate dimensions using the FTI system and manual measurement will first be discussed for the coarse aggregates in Set 1. The relationship between the FTI calculated dimensions and the manually measured dimensions can be followed with a linear regression, indicating the accuracy of the FTI system.

... 60 the roughest surfaces, whereas crushed glacial gravel and rounded glacial gravel are less angular aggregates with the smoothest surfaces. In terms of the AIMS II results, rounded glacial gravel aggregates have the smallest angularity index, corresponding to the smoothest surfaces with least angularity, of all the aggregates.
