Question: In test ASTM C - 1 2 7 , the weight of the sample is 1 kg when it is submerged in water for 2

In test ASTM C-127, the weight of the sample is 1 kg when it is submerged in water for 24 hours to fill all the permeable
voids with water while the surface was dried with a towel, and 625 g when submerged in a water tank. After putting
the sample in the oven for 24 hours the weight came up to be 980 grams.
The water density =1000kgm3. The volume of bucket =0.40**10-3m3. Bucket weight =250g
Calculate the specific gravity of oven dry basis.
Calculate the bulk density of aggregate by using formulas of Test ASTM C29/C29M
Calculate the voids percentage.
