An asphalt concrete specimen has a mass in air of 1327.8 g, mass in water
of 792.4 g, and saturated surface-dry mass of 1342.2 g. Calculate the bulk-specific gravity of the specimen.
A sample of lightweight coarse aggregate weighs 532.3 g when oven-dried, 615.7 g when saturated surface-dried, and 191.3 g when submerged. Calculate the bulk specific gravity, apparent specific gravity, and percent absorption.
For concrete production, we mix 625 kg of fine aggregate and 830 kg of coarse aggregate. The fine aggregate has a moisture content of 2.3% and absorption of 3.2%, whereas the coarse aggregate has a moisture content of 1.5% and absorption of 2.8%. Calculate the amount of water required to increase the moisture contents of both fine and coarse aggregate to reach absorption?
