Answer:
a) The aggregate bulk dry specific gravity is 2.7
b) The aggregate apparent specific gravity is 2.72
c) The moisture content of stockpile aggregate is 1.6%
d) The absorption is 0.21%
Explanation:
Be:
Aggregate bulk dry specific gravity = z
Mass of the oven dried aggregate = x
Mass of the saturated surface dry aggregates = y
Submerged mass of aggregate = n
Aggregate apparent specific gravity = m
Weight of moist aggregate = p
a) The aggregate bulk dry specific gravity is equal to:
[tex]z=\frac{x}{y-n} =\frac{5216}{5227-3295} =2.7[/tex]
b) The aggregate apparent specific gravity is:
[tex]m=\frac{x}{x-n} =\frac{5216}{5216-3295} =2.72[/tex]
c) The moisture content of stockpile aggregate is:
[tex]M=\frac{p-x}{x} *100=\frac{5298-5216}{5216} *100=1.6[/tex]%
d) The absorption is:
[tex]A=\frac{y-x}{x} *100=\frac{5227-5216}{5216} *100=0.21[/tex]%
The aggregate bulk dry specific gravity, the aggregate apparent specific gravity, the moisture content of stockpile aggregate, Absorption are respectively;
A) 2.7
B) 2.72
C) 1.6%
D) 0.21%
What is the Specific Gravity of the soil?
A) The formula for the aggregate bulk dry specific gravity is;
Aggregate bulk dry specific gravity = (Mass of the oven dried aggregate)/(Mass of the saturated surface dry aggregates - Submerged mass of aggregate)
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
Aggregate bulk dry specific gravity = 5216/(5227 - 3295)
Aggregate bulk dry specific gravity = 2.7
B) Formula for aggregate apparent specific gravity is:
Mass of the oven dried aggregate/(Mass of the oven dried aggregate - Submerged mass of aggregate)
⇒ 5216/(5216 - 3295) = 2.72
C) The moisture content of stockpile aggregate is;
m = ((Weight of moist aggregate - Mass of the oven dried aggregate)/Mass of the oven dried aggregate) * 100%
m = ((5298 - 5216)/5216) * 100%
m = 1.6%
D) Absorption is calculated as;
A = ((5227 - 5216)/5216) * 100%
A = 0.21%
