Rodded Bulk Density
Image source:-indiamart.com |
(1.) Metal measure of 3 liters capacity is used.
(2.) Fill the metal measure about 1/3 part full with thoroughly mix fine aggregate.
(3.) Temping of aggregate given 25 stokes using rounded end temping rod.
(4.) Now, added the second layer of aggregate using the similar quantity of aggregate and given 25 stokes.
(5.) The aggregate shall finally be filled to over flowing and temped 25 times.
(6.) Now, surplus quantity will remove using the straight edge.
(7.) Weight of metal measure filled with compacted aggregate =7.432 Kg.
(8.) Net weight of aggregate=Combined weight of metal measure and rodded aggregate-Weight of the empty metal measure
=7.432 Kg - 2.686 Kg
= 4.746 Kg
(9.) Rodded bulk density =Weight of compacted aggregate / Capacity of metal measure
= 4.746 /3
= 1.582 Kg/l
(10.) Take another set of reading and recorded in the observation sheet.
(11.) Average of two readings will be final value.
(12.) Percentage voids in aggregate = (Gs - R) /G * 100
Where,
Gs = Specific gravity of aggregate
R = Loose bulk density of aggregate
% of voids in aggregate = (2.60 - 1.398 )/2.60 * 100
= 46 %
Note:-
(i) Capacity of metal measure = 3 Liter
(ii) Width of metal measure = 15 cm
(iii) Height of metal measure = 17 cm
(iv) Temping rod dia.=16 mm
(v) Temping rod length = 30 cm
