After watching the video, write on a letter size bond paper the procedure of the Testing Method
Conducted and what you have learned from the video. Follow the format provided for your submission.

ASTM C127: Standard Test Method for Gs and Absorption of Coarse Aggregate
The physical properties of the of the coarse aggregate for concrete mix proportioning, is
determined by the use of this method. In addition, if change takes place in the value,
consequently, there'll be a change in the amount of coarse aggregate in a given concrete
mixture absorption is measurement of water in the aggregate porous this value is critical
to maintaining a consistent water cement ratio. Lastly, the bulk specific gravity (SSD)
and absorption are based on aggregate after 15-19 hours soaking in water.
ASTM C128: Standard Test Method for Gs and Absorption of Fine Aggregate

To determine the density of the essentially solid portion of a large number of aggregate
particles and provides an average value representing the sample, this is the concrete
method to be used. Moreover, it distinguishes disparaging between the density of
aggregate particles through the use of this method
