EXPERIMENT SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND ABSORPTION OF COARSE AGGREGATE

Result:
No Sample weight (g) Result
1 A
2 B (SSD)
3 C (sample + water)
4 E (oven-dry sample)

Result
Bulk specific gravity, dry A/(B-C)
=
Bulk specific gravity, SSD B/(B-C)
=
Apparent specific gravity D/(D-C)
=
Absorption = [(B-D)/D] x 100
