About the Course

This course covers the determination of relative density (specific gravity) and the absorption of fine aggregates. The relative density (specific gravity), a dimensionless quality, is expressed as oven-dry (OD), saturated-surface-dry (SSD), or as apparent relative density (specific gravity). The OD relative density is determined after drying the aggregate. The SSD relative density and absorption are determined after soaking the aggregate in water for a prescribed duration.

The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Identify apparatus used for determination of relative density (specific gravity) and the absorption of fine aggregates.
  • Recognize steps for sampling and specimen preparation as outlined for ASTM C128, including those for testing for surface moisture of sample.
  • Recall steps for both the gravimetric and volumetric procedures for determination of relative density (specific gravity) and the absorption of fine aggregates.
  • Identify equations used for calculating relative density and absorption.
  • Recognize reporting requirements for ASTM C128.
