On the other hand, aggregate of moderate or low strength and modulus of elasticity can be valuable in preserving the integrity of concrete, because volume changes under the applied load lead to lower stress in the cement-paste when the aggregate is compressible. Whereas a rigid aggregate might lead to cracking of the surrounding cement-paste.

Aggregate Crushing Value
Aggregate Crushing value depends on the shape of agg also. Angular aggregates have a lower ACV, than Irregular or rounded aggregates.If we cut a core out of the same agg (Say in the quarry) and test for compressive strength, will give a higher MPa value. It can be considered as a concrete cylinder or UCS tested in lab. So it is hard to corelate
