Bulk Density of Aggregate The bulk density of an aggregate may be defined as the mass of the material in a given volume. It depends on how densely the aggregate is packed. The other factors affecting the bulk density are the particle size & shape, the grading of the aggregate and moisture content. Bulk density … Continue reading Bulk Density of Aggregate
