Aggregates from two stockpiles, A and B having coarse aggregate angularity (crushed faces) of 40% and 90% were blended at a ratio of 30:70 by weight,respectively. The percent material passing the 4.75mm sieve was 25% and 55% for stockpiles A and B, respectively. What is the percent of crushed faces of the aggregate blend?
Calculate the bulk specific gravity of combined aggregate if you know the specific gravities of coarse aggregate (C), fine aggregate (F) and Mineral Filler (MF) are 2.61, 2.63 and 2.71 respectively. The percent for C, F, and MF can be determined based on the gradation shown below
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 = 12 ft3Weight of empty bucket = 20.3 lbWeight of bucket filled with dry rodded coarse aggregate:Trial 1 = 76.6 lbTrial 2 = 75.1 lb Trial 3 = 78.8 lba. Calculate the average dry-rodded unit weightb. If the bulk dry specific gravity of the aggregate is 2.620, calculate the percent voids between aggregate particles for each trial.
