Calculation: 1. Total percentage of moisture in an oven dry basis: Wet Wt – Dry Wt % Moisture Oven Dry Basis = x 100% Dry Wt. Wet Wt = original weight (mass) of aggregate Dry Wt = oven dry weight (mass) of aggregate 2. Calculate the percent surface (free) moisture: % Surface moisture = (% Moisture, Oven Dry Basis) - (% Absorption, from Mix Design

Method B – Oven Drying

make up computation example with solution

 

Mass of wet sample  
Mass of dry sample  
% Moisture  
Absorption 0.50%
% surface (free) moisture  
Calculation:
1. Total percentage of moisture in an oven dry basis:
Wet Wt – Dry Wt
% Moisture Oven Dry Basis =
x 100%
Dry Wt.
Wet Wt = original weight (mass) of aggregate
Dry Wt = oven dry weight (mass) of aggregate
2. Calculate the percent surface (free) moisture:
% Surface moisture = (% Moisture, Oven Dry Basis) - (% Absorption, from Mix Design
