A sieve analysis test was performed on a sample of coarse aggregate and produced the following results. Referring to ASTM C33, what is the closest size number, and does it meet the gradation for that standard size?
A small amount of resin weighing 4.56g occupies a height of a 10-ml graduated cylinder equivalent to one ml. One mL of water was added and the level was read at 1.7 mL. Estimate the porosity of the resin.
