Answer #1

Solution :

Tamping of fine aggregate is done when only fine aggregate is present i.e dry aggregate, for removing of voids ( air ) entrapped among particles.

Whereas tamping of mortar is done for removing lumps and it is wet tamping.

    A bituminous mixture contains 65% coarse aggregate, 35% fine aggregate (by weight of total aggregate) and 4.8% asphalt (by weight of the mixture). Determine the bulk specific gravity of the mixture if, after compaction, it contains 7.0% air voids. Assume that the aggregate absorbs 0.3% of the asphalt by weight of the aggregate. The specific gravities of the materials are: Coarse Aggregate 2.723 Fine Aggregate 2.664 - 1.05

    A mortar is like a small cannon that launches shells at steep angles. A mortar crew is positioned near the top of a steep hill. Enemy forces are charging up the hill and it is necessary for the crew to spring into action. Angling the mortar at an angle of ?= 54.0 ∘(as shown), the crew fires the shell at a muzzle velocity of 237 ft/s. How far ? d down the hill does the shell strike if the hill...

    use (absolute volume method). Calculate the materials (type II cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and water) needed to make 16 concrete cylinders (diameter = 4", height = 8") for our compression tests. Specified compressive strength = 3000 psi at 28 days. For coarse aggregate, please choose 3/4 in max size gravel containing some crushed particles with the following assumptions: oven-dry specific gravity of 2.68; oven-dry rodded unit weight: 100 lb per cu. ft; moisture content: 1%.
