New Basket-Based Method for Testing Coarse Aggregate Saturated Surface-Dry Mass

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces a new method to get the saturated-surface-dry mass of coarse aggregate based on basket method, by testing the difference of the aggregate mass before and after being immersed in water for 24 hours. It also describes the design of test process. By comparing the different test results of the new method and the method in current code, it shows significant advantages of the new method and removes the shortcoming of the current method, the result is more close to the real value of material properties.
