ASTM C29/C29M Standard Test Method for Bulk Density ("Unit Weight") and Voids in Aggregate-- eLearning Course
About the Course
This test method covers the determination of bulk density ("unit weight") of aggregate in a compacted or loose condition, and calculated voids between particles in fine, coarse, or mixed aggregates based on the same determination. This test method is applicable to aggregates not exceeding 125 mm [5 in.] in nominal maximum size.
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:
- Determine specifications for balance, tamping rod, measure, and shovel or scoop
