Question

A severe weathering clay brick was tested for absorption and saturation coefficient according to ASTM C67 procedure and produced the following data: Dry mass of specimen = 2.635 kg Saturated mass after 24-hour submersion in cold water = 2.83 kg Saturated mass after 5-hour submersion in boiling water = 2.866 kg Please round to the nearest hundredth (i.e., 0.01). 1. Calculate absorption by 24-hour submersion = Answer % 2. Calculate absorption by 5-hour boiling = Answer % 3. Calculate saturation coefficient = Answer 4. Does the brick satisfy the ASTM requirements? Write down either yes or no. No spaces, and case is unimportant. Answer
