The volume increase of fine aggregate due to presence of moisture content is known as bulking. Fine sand bulks more as compared to coarse sand. Extremely fine sand particularly the manufactured fine aggregate bulks as much as about 40%. Note: Fine aggregate do not show any bulking when it is absolutely dry or completely saturated.

Density is the measurement of mass within a given volume of a substance. This property remains constant regardless of the size or shape of the sample, making it a distinctive characteristic of the material.. Conversely, bulk density refers to measuring mass within a unit volume of a bulk material, considering the air voids between particles. This …

For ordinary sands the bulking usually varies between 15 to 30 percent. Fine sand bulks more and the maximum bulking is obtained at a higher water content than the coarse sand. In case of coarse …
The bulk density and void percentage of aggregate can be evaluated using standard test methods of applicable codes such as ASTM C 29/C29M-17a, IS: 2386 (Part 3) – 1963, or BS 812-2:1995. ... the evaluation of the percentage of voids between particles in fine, coarse, or mixed aggregates is dependent on the bulk density. It is worth knowing ...
Fine aggregate is on of the major constituents of concrete which can influence concrete mix design substantially. Various factors such as fine aggregate fineness modulus, moisture content, specific gravity, and silt content affect the mix proportions of concrete. Fineness modulus specifies how much fine aggregate is required in a given mix design.
The bulk density of construction aggregate is expressed as the weight per unit volume for example kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3). The bulk density can be calculated for loose and compacted aggregate, the latter simulates the density of aggregate after transportation. Measurements are carried out using calibrated containers of known volume.
Several mechanical properties of aggregate are of interest for the manufacture of concrete, specially high strength concrete subjected to high wear. Some of them are discussed here in brief: 1. Toughness 2. Hardness 3. Specific Gravity 4. Porosity of Aggregate 5. Bulking of Sand. Property # 1. Toughness: It is defined as the resistance of aggregate to failure …
4.7–19 mm, or 19–37.5 mm. Fine aggregates generally consist of natural sand (river, floodplain, or marine) or crushed stone, whereas coarse aggregates consist of one or a combination of gravels or crushed stone. Sand is further subdivided into: • Coarse sand: 4.5–2.0 mm. • Medium sand: 2.0–0.425 mm. • Fine sand: 0.425–0.075 mm.
