    This document discusses several physical properties of aggregates that are relevant to their behavior in concrete such as bulk density, void ratio, and porosity. It notes that when estimating material quantities and batching by volume, it is necessary to know the conditions under which aggregate volume is measured. The void volume in aggregates must also be known for economically designing concrete mixes. Observations from a test show the weight of an empty container was 9kg and the weight of the container filled with aggregate was 31.3kg.

    BULK DENSITY, VOID RATIO AND POROSITY

    Several common physical properties of aggregates such as bulk


    density,void ratio, porosity etc. are relevant to the behavior of aggregate in concrete and
    to the properties of concrete made with the given aggregate. In estimating quantities of
    materials and in mix computations, when batching is done on volume basis, it is
    necessary to know the conditions under which aggregate volume is measured.The void in
    the mass of aggregate also must be known for an economical design of mixes. The
    observations of the test are shown below.
    Observations
    Weight of empty container=W1= 9kg
    Weight of container+aggregate=W2= 31.3kg
