The formula to calculate the bulk specific gravity (GSB) is:
\[ GSB = \frac{DW}{SSD - WW} \]
Where:
Bulk specific gravity (GSB) is a measure of the density of a material compared to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the oven dry weight of the material by the difference between its SSD weight and its weight in water. This metric is commonly used in materials science and engineering to assess the properties of aggregates and other materials.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the bulk specific gravity (GSB):
\[ GSB = \frac{DW}{SSD - WW} = \frac{500}{550 - 300} = \frac{500}{250} = 2.00 \]
The Bulk Specific Gravity (GSB) is 2.00.
