Aggregate Moisture Content Analysis

The document contains results from tests performed on concrete mixtures with different aggregate moisture conditions. For coarse and fine aggregate, moisture content, absorption, and saturation were calculated. Mix designs are provided for high-strength concrete with fly ash or silica fume additions. Results include the water-cement ratios, aggregate and cementitious material quantities for different mixtures. Compression test results at 7, 28, and 56 days for concrete cubes made with different mixtures and moisture conditions are also reported.

APPENDIX

Appendix A.1: Results and Calculations for Aggregate Moisture Content

Moisture Content = (MAD - MOD)/MOD 100 %


Effective Absorption = (MSSD - MAD)/MSSD 100 %
Absorption Capacity = (MSSD - MOD)/MOD 100 %
Coarse Aggregate:
Aggregate Testing Results Mass, M (g)
AD Aggregate

2000.3

OD Aggregate

1998.9

SSD Aggregate

2015.2

SD Aggregate

1999.6

AD Moisture Content = (2000.3 1998.9) / 1998.9 100 % = 0.07 %


Effective Absorption = (2015.2 2000.3) / 2015.2 100 % = 0.739 %
Absorption Capacity/SSD Moisture Content = (2015.2 1998.9) / 1998.9 100 %
= 0.815 %
SD Moisture Content = (1999.6 1998.9) / 1998.9 100 % = 0.035 %
Sand:
Aggregate Testing Results Mass, M (g)
AD Sand

SSD Sand

2010.2

AD Moisture Content = (2000 1995.8) / 1995.8 100 % = 0.21 %


Effective Absorption = (2010.2 2000) / 2010.2 100 % = 0.507 %
Absorption Capacity/SSD Moisture Content = (2010.2 1995.8) / 1995.8 100 %
= 0.722 %
