Question: You have filled a cylindrical container ( 6 ' ' diameter, 1 2 high ) with aggregate in a wet condition. The container weighs

You have filled a cylindrical container (6'' diameter, 12" high) with aggregate in a wet condition. The container weighs 1.2 lb empty and 24.7 lb full. After drying the aggregate, the aggregate's oven-dry weight is 21.8 lb . Tests determine that the saturated surface dry weight is 22.3 lb and its specific gravity is 2.66.(20 points)
A. For the wet aggregate, determine the aggregate's total moisture content, absorption capacity and surface moisture content.
B. What is the bulk unit weight (dry rodded unit weight) of this wet aggregate?
You have filled a cylindrical container ( 6 ' '
