Tnis gives aggregate ine ability to absoro water. This will eIectuveiy reauce tneamount of water available for hydration; or conversely, if the aggregate is very wet, addexcess water to a cement mix.There are four moisture states:1. Oven-dry (OD); all moisture removed.2. Air-dry (AD); surface moisture removed, internal pores partially full3. Saturated-surface-dry (SSD); surface moisture removed, all internal pores full.4. Wet; pores full with surface film.Of these four states, SSD, saturated-surface-dry, is considered the best reference state. Itis an equilibrium state, where the aggregate will not absorb or give water to the cementpaste, simulates actual field conditions more closely, and used to determine bulk specificgravity. However, this moisture state is not easy to obtain.Absorption and Surface MoistureTo determine the amount of water an aggregate will add or subtract from a cement paste,the following three quantities are used:1. Absorption capacity (AC) -- maximum amount of water the aggregate will absorb.The range for most normal-weight aggregates is 1 - 2%.-Wo 100%2. Effective Absorption (EA) -- amount of water required to bring an aggregate fromthe AD state to the SSD state.W -WEA -100%The weight of water absorbed by the aggregate Wabs is calculated from the weighof the aggregate Wagg in a concrete mix using effective absorption (EA).W = (EA)W3. Surface Moisture (SM) -- amount of water in excess of SSDW -Wex 100%SMIt is used to calculate the additional water Wada of the concrete mixW - (SM)WThe moisture content (MC) of aggregate is given by:Want -WWsoMC -× 100%If the moisture content (MC) is positive, there is surface moisture. If the MC is negative,it has the potential for absorption. Therefore, the total moisture associated with anaggregate is:Wac = (MC)WStockpiled fine aggregate is often in a wet state with a surface moisture of 0 to 5%. Morewater can be held in the interspace between particles than in coarse aggregates. This alsoleads to thicker films of water which in turn push the aggregate apart and increase theapparent volume. This is called bulking.Specific GravityA dimensionless ratio of density of the material in question to the density of water.SG = [density of solid] / [density of water]Absolute specific gravity (ASG) considers the weight and volume of the solid part of theaggregate. Whereas, bulk specific gravity (BSG) is a measure of the weight/volume ofealide and norae of a matorialNot Secure - ce.memphis.edu
