Question

A portion of a medium-weight concrete masonry unit was tested for absorption and moisture content and produced the following results: mass of unit as received 5435 g saturated mass of unit 5776 g oven-dry mass of unit 5091 g immersed mass of unit 2973 g Calculate the absorption in kg/m2 and the moisture content of the unit as a percent of total absorption. Does the absorption meet the ASTM C90 require- ment for absorption?
