Chapter 8, Problem 8.12QP

A portion of a medium-weight concrete masonry unit was tested for absorption

 moisture content and produced the following results:

mass of unit as received = 5435 g

saturated mass of unit = 5776 g

oven-dry mass of unit = 5091 g

immersed mass of unit = 2973 g

Calculate the absorption in kg/m3 and the moisture content of the unit as a percent of total absorption. Does the absorption meet the ASTM C90 requirement for absorption?
