Laboratory Report: Surface Moisture in Fine AggregateIntroduction:Surface moisture in fine aggregate plays a crucial role in the overall properties of concrete and asphalt mixtures. Moisture content affects the workability, strength, and durability of these materials. The determination of surface moisture content in fine aggregate is essential for achieving desired concrete or asphalt properties.Materials and Equipment:BalanceFlask Procedure:Preparation of Sample:A representative sample of fine aggregate was obtained and brought to the laboratory.Initial Weight Measurement: A clean, dry sample container was weighed accurately. A portion of the fine aggregate was placed into the container, and its weight was recorded. Which is 200.7 gDetermination by Mass—Determine the mass of the container, in grams, filled to the mark with only water. Before placing the sample into the container, adjust the level of the water sothat it will be sufficient to cover the sample without going over the original mark. Introduce the weighed sample of fine aggregate into the container and remove the entrapped air. Fill the container to the original mark and determine the mass in grams. Calculate the amount of water.Experimental results:Mc= 1332.5 gMs= 200.7 gM=1461.7 gMd= 1332.5 + 200.7 - 1461.7 = 71.5Vd:200.7/2.75 = 72.9P=71.5−72.9200.7−71.5×100=1.08%
Conclusion:The experiment successfully determined the surface moisture content in the fine aggregate using the oven-drying method. Understanding and accounting for surface moisture in fine aggregates are critical in the construction industry to produce high-quality concrete and asphalt mixtures.
