the aggregate is used in calculating the absolute or solid volumes of materials in a concrete mix and thus the yield The apparent relative density of aggregate generally varies between 25 and 30 Water absorption The extent to which pores in the aggregate structure can fill with water may affect the performance of concrete
Based on bulking of sand suitable water cement ratio is calculated for concrete at site 1 Test for Silt Content Test of Sand The maximum quantity of silt in sand shall not exceed 8 Fine aggregate containing more than allowable percentage of silt shall be washed so as to bring the silt content within allowable limits 2 Test for Grading
a Take about one kg of representative sample of sand fine aggregate in a suitable size tray Fully immerse this sand sample in clean water for 24 hours b After 24 hours of immersion take about 500 gm of representative wet sand sample Dry this sand in saturated surface dry SSD condition either in air or heating in a fry pan
Test like water absorption particle size distribution silt content sp gravity bulking of sand and test for impurities can be performed to check its suitability Cite 15th Mar 2018
WATER ABSORPTION This test helps to determine the water absorption of coarse aggregates as per IS 2386 Part III – 1963 For this test a sample not less than 2000g should be used The apparatus used for this test are

May 20 2016 · If you fill the gap between the stones with something that isnt water permeable then it wont be you guessed it water permeable Interlocking paver stones will often have sand in the joints with an additional polymer to prevent weed growth but that amounts to waterproofing the joints If weeds cant come up then water cant seep down
Jun 02 2016 · Processing of the crusher dust might have induced fracture of particles through water accessible voids This in turn could have reduced the number and volume of these voids which are measured by the water absorption test Furthermore BS EN states that the tested sands must be washed over a 63 μm sieve but coatings like clays may
