Absorption and surface moisture of Aggregates

Absorption and surface moisture of aggregate are measured when selecting aggregate because the internal structure of aggregate is made up of solid material and voids that may or may not contain water.

The amount of water in the concrete mixture must be adjusted to include the moisture conditions of the aggregate.
