Question: A fine aggregate was tested using procedures found in the ASTM 1 2 8 specification. The mass of the pycnometer filled to the 5 0

A fine aggregate was tested using procedures found in the ASTM 128 specification. The mass of the pycnometer filled to the 500mL mark with water was 1010g. The mass of the pycnometer filled to the 500mL mark with water and SSD aggregate was 1310g. The mass of the SSD aggregate and the oven container was 607g. The mass of the oven dry aggregate and the oven container was 597g. The mass of the oven container was 105g. Compute the bulk (oven dry) specific gravity, the SSD specific gravity, the apparent specific gravity, and the percent of absorption of the fine aggregate. Compute all answers to two decimal places.
