AIM To study the behaviour of sand grains under varying percentage of moisture content . APPARATUES. 250 ml measuring cylinder ,weighing balance etc . PROCEDURE (i) Take 500gm (W1) of the aggregate. (ii) Keep the sample in an oven in a tray at a temperature of 100C-110 C for 24 0.5 hours . (iii) Cool the sand in an air tight container and weight it (W2) Water content of the sample = (W1-W2)x 100/W1 (iv) Take out about 250gm of sand and pour it into a pan. (v) Add 2% (by weight) of water and mix well. (vi) Pour the sand sample into a 250 ml measuring cylinder and consolidate by shaking. (vii) Level the surface and read the volume in ml (Yi). (viii) Take out the whole quantity of sand and continue the experiment by adding 2% water more each time and note the corresponding volume of sand (Y2,Y3..) until the dump sand volume starts decreasing. (ix) Beyond this point, add 4% more water each time until the sample become fully saturated. (x) To the standard sample in the measuring cylinder, add about 50 ml water ore and stir the sample well. (xi) Note down the surface level of inundated sand (Y ml).

CALCULATIONS Bulking =(Y1-Y)x100/Y GRAPH A graph drawn with % water content along X-mas and % bulking along Y- axis. From the graph, pick out maximum % of bulking occurred, % of water content at maximum bulking , % of water content When bulking is zero & % of bulking for the initial water content (W) of the sample. RESULTS % of bulking occurred = % of water content at maximum bulking= % of water content when bulking is zero= % of bulking for the initial water content (W) of the sample =

FIELD TEST FOR BULKING OF FINE AGGREGATES AIM To determine necessary adjustment for the bulking of fine aggregate, in the field. APPARATUES 250 ml measuring cylinder PROCEDURE (I) Pour the dump sand in to a 250 ml measuring cylinder up to the 200 ml mark. (II) Fill the cylinder with water and stir well (sufficient water should be poured to submerge the sand compleately and it can be see that the sand surface is now below its original level) (III) Take the reading at the sand surface (Y ml) CALCULATIONS % of bulking { (200/Y)- 1] x100 Report the percentage bulking of the sand to the nearest whole number. RESULT Percentage bulking of field sample= Related Tags: how to conduct experiment on bulking of sand, range and value ofbulking of sand, bulking of fine aggregate, effect of bulking of sand on concrete mix, factors affecting bulking of sand, bulking test in sand, bulking of aggregate with examples, bulking effect aggregate, bulking test of sand, maximum %age of bulking of sand, aggregate bulking of sand, factors affecting on bulking of sand,

Aim To determine the bulk density and percentage voids of aggregate . Apparatus (I)Balance -A balance sensitive to 0.5% of the weight of the sample to be weighed . (ii) Cylindrical Metal Measure- The measure shall be of 3,15 or 30 liters capacity and shall comply with the requirements given below. . . . Size of largest particle 4.75mm and under Over 4.75 mm to 40mm Over 40mm Nominal capacity 3 liters 15 liters 30 liters

4. Tamping Rod- A straight metal tamping rod of cylindrical cross section 16 mm in diameters 60 cm long , rounded at one end . Calibration The measure shall be calibrated by determine the weight of water at 27oC required to fill it such that no meniscus is present above the rim of the container. The capacity in liters shall be obtained by dividing the weight of water in kg required to fill the container at 27 oC by the weight of water in one liter at 27oC which is 0.1 kg.

Procedure Take the weight of empty measure (W) (ii) Fill the measure with aggregates sample for about one third height and tam evenly with 25 strokes of the rounded end of the tamping rod (iii) Add a similar quantity of aggregate as second layer and tamp it evenly with 25 strokes. (iv) Fill the measure with a third layer of aggregate up to over following and tamp it with 25 strokes (v) Strike off the surplus aggregate using the tamping rod as a straight edge. (vi) Take the weight (w1) (vii) Empty the measure and fill it again to over flowing by means of a shovel, the aggregate being discharged from a height not exceeding 5 cm above the top of the measure. (viii)Level the surface of the measure and weight it (w2). Note The experiment should be done for coarse and fine aggregates

CALCULATIONS Coarse AGGREGATE Diameter of metal measure = Volume of metal measure (v) = (W1-W ) Bulk density of compacted coarse aggregates = V Bulk density of loosely packed aggregates= (W2-W)/V Percentage of voids =100x (Gs-r)/ Gs Where Gs = Specific gravity of aggregate

r = Bulk density of aggregate in kg / liter. FINE AGGREGATE Diameter of metal measure = Volume of Metal measure (v) = Bulk density of compacted coarse aggregate = ( W1-W )/V Bulk density of loosely packed aggregates= (W2-W)/V Percentage of voids= (Gs-r)x100/ Gs Where Gs = Specific gravity of aggregate r = Bulk density of aggregate in kg / liter. Results Bulk density of compacted coarse aggregate = Bulk density of loosely packed coarse aggregates = Bulk density of compacted fine aggregate = Bulk density of loosely packed fine aggregates = Percentage of voids of coarse aggregate = Percentage of voids of fine aggregate = Related Tags: percent voids loosely compacted soil, report of bulk density of fine aggregates, pengertian bulk density agregat, tip stability analysis "bulk density", percentage of voids, specific gravity for coarse aggregat and fine aggregate, determination of bulk density of aggregates, voids percentage in aggregates, +Bulk Density Sand and Coarse aggregate, bulk density for aggregates, percentage voids waste concrete, specific gravity for coarse aggregat and fine aggregate,
