Coarse aggregate is placed in a rigid bucket and rodded with a tamping rod to determine its unit weight. The following data are obtained: Volume of bucket = 0.481 %3D Weight of empty bucket = 22.107 Ib %3D Weight of bucket filled with dry rodded coarse aggregate Trial 1 = 69.259 lb %3D Trial 2 = 70.567 lb Trial 3 = 69.708 lb • If the bulk dry specific gravity of the aggregate is 2.727, calculate the percent voids for trial 2. where unit weight of water is 62.40
