Question

If h = height of sand when moist and h1 is the height when saturated then what is the percentage of bulking?

(a) {(h-h1)/h1}*100

(b) {(h1-h)/h1}*100

(c) {(h-h1)/h}*100

(d) {(h1-h)/h}*100

I got this question in final exam.

Question is from Bulking of Aggregates in division Aggregates and Testing of Aggregates of Concrete Technology

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) {(h-h1)/h1}*100

The best I can explain: It is the formula to calculate the percentage of bulking. Percentage in bulking = {(h-h1)/h1}*100.
