Q-3: The weight of 10.5 Ibs of coarse aggregate (in SSD condition) after immersion in water is
found to be 5.11 Ibs. If the absorption capacity of the aggregate is 2.3%, calculate i) bulk
specific gravity (O-D), in) bulk specific gravity (SSD) and ii) apparent specific gravity for that
aggregate mix.
