ABSTRACT
This research determined the specific gravity of aggregates in different quarrying sites in second district of Camarines Norte. This study also presented and identified the research instruments, materials and statistical tool considered in this research. The experimental method of research was used in this study. Library visit and internet surfing were also conducted. The result of this study revealed that all samples from Basud, Dagotdotan and Dogongan would pass the sieve analysis test requirements base on ASTM C-33 standard specification of concrete aggregates except the fine aggregates from Alawihao quarrying site. Bulk specific gravity SSD and OD of coarse and fine aggregates of all sites considered would not satisfy the ACI Standard. With the four sites considered, only apparent specific gravity would meet the range of specific gravity based on ACI Standard. Specific gravity is used in calculating the volume that can be used in design mix. Specific gravity is not a measure of aggregates quality. To determine the aggregates strength for concrete mixture, further study was recommended.
