Determine the suitability of the aggregate, with the gradation tabulated below, for use in Portland cement concrete. Review the grain size distribution to determine if it meets all of the relevant specifications for use in concrete (i.e. gradation limits, fineness modulus and % fines). Refer to the specification for concrete aggregates (Table 7 – 10) below: Grain Size (mm) % Passing Cum %Retained 25 100 19 100 12.5 100 9.5 100 4.75 95 2.36 85 1.18 55 0.6 30 0.3 15 0.15 8 0.075 6
What is maximum capacity of measure should be used in determining the density of the concrete if the nominal maximum aggregate size of coarse aggregate is 25.0 mm?
5.10 Samples of coarse aggregate from a stockpile are brought to the laboratory for determination of specific gravities. The following weights are found: Mass of moist aggregate sample as brought to the laboratory: 5,298 g Mass of oven dried aggregate: 5,216 g 5.11 5.12 5.13 5.14 Mass of aggregates submerged in water: 3,295 g Mass of SSD (Saturated Surface Dry) Aggregate: 5,227 g Find a. The aggregate bulk dry specific gravity b. The aggregate apparent specific gravity c. The moisture content of stockpile aggregate (report as a percent) d. Absorption (report as percent) Base course aggregate has a target dry density of 1917 kg/m³ in place. It will be laid down and compacted in a rectangular street repair area of 600 m × 15 m × 0.15 m. The aggregate in the stockpile contains 3.1% moisture. If the required compaction is 95% of the target, how many tons of aggregate will be needed? Calculate the percent voids between aggregate particles that have been com- pacted by rodding, if the…
