Question: The specific gravity and absorption test ( ASTM C 1 2 8 ) was performed on fine aggregate and the following data were obtained: Mass

The specific gravity and absorption test (ASTM C128) was performed on fine aggregate and the following data were obtained:
Mass of SSD sand =400g
Mass of pycnometer with water only =523g
Mass of pycnometer with sand and water =838.2g
Mass of dry sand =395.5g
Calculate the specific gravity values (dry bulk, SSD, and apparent) and the absorption of the fine aggregate.
The specific gravity and absorption test ( ASTM C
