Coarse aggregate is placed in a rigid bucket androdded with a tamping rod to determine its unit
weight. The following data are obtained:
Volume of bucket =0.01 m3
Weight of empty bucket =8.4 kg
Weight of bucket filled with dry rodded coarse aggregate =25.4 kg
(a) Calculate the dry-rodded unit weight
(b) If the oven-dried bulk specific gravity of the
aggregate is 2.63, calculate the percent voids in the aggregate
