Determination of Aggregate Content

Absolute Volume of Total Aggregate, Vta

Vta = 1-((Pa/100) + W+(C/SG1))/1000
Vta = 0.663
Fine Aggregate:
1.Absolute Volume of Fine Aggegate (Washed Sand ), Vfa
Vfa = Vta X Pfa/100
Vfa = 0.252
2.Quality of Fine Aggregate (Washed Sand), Fa

Fa = Vfa X SG2 X 1000

Fa = 662
Coarse Aggregate:
1:Absolute Volume of Coarse Aggregate, Vca
Vca = Vta X Pca/100
Vca = 0.411
2.Quality of 20 mm Coarse aggregate, Ca1
Ca1 = Vca X SG2 X Pca1/100 X 1000
Ca1 = 312
3.Quality of 10 mm Coarse Aggregate Ca2
Ca2 = Vca X SG2 X Pca2/100 X 1000
Ca2 = 794
