Question
1. In the specific gravity and absorption experiment, the following measurements were taken of
coarse aggregates:
Weight of pan used to weigh SSD aggregates
Weight of pan + SSD aggregates
Weight of SSD aggregates in water
Weight of pan used to weigh oven-dried aggregates
Weight of pan + oven dried aggregates
Calculate the following properties:
a. Specific gravity
b.
SSD specific gravity
c. Apparent specific gravity
d. Absorption
= 500 g
= 2550 g
= 1300 g
= 510 g
= 2545 g
2. After manually sieving 100 g of cement on the No. 200 sieve, the mass retained on the sieve was
found to be 8 grams. Determine the fineness of the cement.
