A 3-D method for particle shape determination of coarse aggregates using image analysis, IA, is presented. It is based on the measures the
axial length of all three axis of every particle in a coarse aggregate sample. Two images of the entire aggregate sample are taken, in lying and
standing positions. Since the particle’s intermediate axes are measured in both images they can be used to couple the shortest and longest
axial dimensions for each particle. The method allows an interpretation of length/thickness, length/width and width/thickness ratios of all the
particles and is thus comparable to the flakiness and shape index tests.
