Lab Report No. 5
RELATIVE DENSITY AND ABSORTION
Purpose
The purpose of this analysis was to determine the Apparent Relative Density (RD
A
)
, Saturated Surface-Dry Relative Density (RD
SSD
)
and Bulk Relative Density (RD
B
)
of the given aggregate sample. The provided sample’s absorption properties (% Absorption)
was also determined during this analysis.
Procedure
Step 1: Retrieve approximately 2 kilograms
(2000grams) of aggregate sample and measure its Submerged Mass
(M
SUB
) -
2 scoops of aggregate sample were retrieved from the wet aggregate container.
-
Sample was placed in mesh container and submerged in water. -
Submerged mass of the sample was measured using the digital scale. Digital scale indicated a mass of 1200 grams
.
Step 2: Obtain the Saturated Surface Dry Mass
(M
SSD
) of the sample
-
The sample was extracted from water after Step 1. -
Aggregate samples were spread out on dry cloth provided by Seneca College. The moisture film (wet external surface) of the aggregates was dried, whilst the pores were
filled with water. -
Saturated surface dry mass (M
SSD
)
of the sample was measured using the digital scale.
The digital scale indicated a mass of 1915.62 grams
.

Step 3: Obtain the Dry Mass
(M
D
)
of the sample
-
Sample was placed in the oven and dried overnight at 110
0
C.
-
Dry Mass (M
D
)
of aggregate sample was obtained 24 hours later. Mass of 1905.65 grams
was posted outside Room A3085 at Seneca College. Step 4: Calculate the Net Volume (V
N
)
, Mass of Absorbed Water (M
WA
)
, Bulk Volume (V
B
)
, Apparent Density (RD
A
)
, Saturated Surface Dry Density (RD
SSD
)
, Bulk Density (RD
B
)
, and Percent Absorption (% Absorption)
of the aggregate sample.
Sample Description
Provided aggregate sample had a dark grey colour with white/light grey steaks. The aggregate sample had a blocky irregular shape
with an angular angularity. The sample contained aggregates bigger than 4.75 mm. Aggregates had a hardness of greater than 5, according to the Mohs scale. Sample had a rough texture. 3 | P a g e
