Fine aggregate sample was tested to find its physical properties. The test results were as
follows: Bulk specific gravity= 2.45, Apparent specific gravity= 2.5, mass of the vessel full of
water = 1300 gm, mass of the vessel plus sand and topped up with water= 1500 gm, mass in
wet condition 518 gm.
Calculate 1- absorption% 2- moisture content% 3- Bulk density 4- Apparent density
50 kg of gravel is mixed with 30 kg of sand. The gravel has a moisture content of 3.9% and absorption of 4.7%, whereas the sand has a moisture content of 3.5% and absorption of 4.9%. What is the amount of water required to increase the moisture contents of both gravel and sand to reach absorption? Why is it important to determine the amount of water required to increase the moisture content of aggregate to reach absorption?

- During construction of the surface layer of asphalt pavement, two samples were taken every day to measure the asphalt content in the mix to ensure that it is within the specification limits. The target value was set at 5.5% with a tolerance of +-0.4 ,. The asphalt content data shown in Table were collected: a. Calculate the mean, standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation of the data. b. Using a spreadsheet program, create a control chart for these data showing the target value and the upper and lower specification limits. Are the asphalt content data within the specification limits?
