2.1 The bulk density determined by this test method is for aggregate in an oven-dry condition. If the bulk density in terms of saturated-surface-dry (SSD) condition is desired, use the exact procedure in this test method, and then calculate the SSD bulk density using the following formula: Mssd = M1 + (4/100)] where: MsSD = bulk density in SSD condition, lb/ft° [kg/m³], and = % absorption, determined in accordance with Test Method C 127 or Test Method C 128.

Calculate the void content, and the bulk density in ssd condition based on the given data. Show complete process. 

2.1 The bulk density determined by this test method is for aggregate in an oven-dry
condition. If the bulk density in terms of saturated-surface-dry (SSD) condition is
desired, use the exact procedure in this test method, and then calculate the SSD
bulk density using the following formula:
Mssd = M1 + (4/100)]
where:
MSSD
= bulk density in SSD condition, lb/ft° [kg/m³], and
= % absorption, determined in accordance with Test
Method C 127 or Test Method C 128.
Void Content-Calculate the void content in the aggregate using the bulk density
determined by either the rodding, jigging, or shoveling procedure, as follows:
3.
% Voids = 100[(S × W) - My(S × W)
where:
= bulk density of the aggregate, lb/ft [ kg/m³],
= bulk specific gravity (dry basis) as determined in
accordance wwith Test Method C 127 or Test Method
SO
C 128, and
density of water, 62.3 lb/ft [998 kg/m³].
