Question 1
According to ASTM C136/C136M, what is the primary reason for performing a sieve analysis on fine and coarse aggregates?
Correct Answer:
To determine the particle size distribution (grading) of the aggregate
Question 2
A technician is tasked with determining the bulk density (unit weight) of a coarse aggregate sample by rodding, in accordance with ASTM C29/C29M. The procedure involves placing the aggregate into a calibrated measure in how many approximately equal layers?
Correct Answer:
Three layers
Question 3
Which of the following properties is determined using the Los Angeles (L.A.) abrasion test (ASTM C131)?
Correct Answer:
The resistance of coarse aggregate to degradation by abrasion and impact
Question 4
A laboratory is testing a coarse aggregate sample for specific gravity and absorption according to ASTM C127. The aggregate is soaked for a prescribed period and then dried to a saturated-surface-dry (SSD) condition. What does the SSD condition signify?
Correct Answer:
The aggregate's permeable pores are filled with water, but the surfaces of the particles are dry.
Question 5
When an accurate determination of the material finer than the 75-µm (No. 200) sieve is required for an aggregate sample, ASTM C136 states that dry sieving alone is insufficient. Which test method should be performed prior to the dry sieve analysis?
Correct Answer:
ASTM C117 (Materials Finer than 75-µm Sieve by Washing)
