Sample of coarse aggregate from a stockpile are brought to the laboratory for determination of specific gravities and absorption. The following masses were obtained.Mass of moist aggregate = 5,982 gramsMass of oven-dried aggregate = 5,892 gramsMass of aggregates submerged in water = 4,082 gramsMass of SSD aggregate = 5,897 grams a) absorption, in percentb) moisture content of stockpile aggregate, in percentc) free moisture
Laboratory specific gravity and absorption tests are run on two coarse aggre- gate sizes, which have to be blended. The results are as follows: Aggregate A: Bulk specific gravity = 2.491; absorption = 0.8% Aggregate B: Bulk specific gravity = 2.773; absorption = 4.6% a. What is the specific gravity of a mixture of 60% aggregate A and 40% aggregate B by weight? b. What is the absorption of the mixture?

46.5 kg of fine aggregate is mixed with 72.3 kg of coarse aggregate. The fineaggregate has a moisture content of 2.0% and absorption of 3.4%, whereasthe coarse aggregate has a moisture content of 1.3% and absorption of 3.8%.What is the amount of water required to increase the moisture contents ofboth fine and coarse aggregates to reach absorption? Why is it important to determine the amount of water required to increase the moisture content ofaggregate to reach absorption?
