Question
Coarse aggregate is placed in a rigid bucket and
rodded with a tamping rod to determine its unit
weight.
The following data are obtained:
Volume of bucket = 0.481
%3D
Weight of empty bucket = 22.107 Ib
%3!
Weight of bucket filled with dry rodded coarse
aggregate
Trial 1 = 69.259 lb
%3D
Trial 2 = 70.567 lb
Trial 3 = 69.708 lb
• If the bulk dry specific gravity of the aggregate is
2.727, calculate the percent voids for trial 2.
