During concrete batching, what adjustment is required to the batch weights to compensate for the moisture content of aggregates, ensuring accurate mix proportions?

During concrete batching, an adjustment to the batch weights of aggregates is necessary to account for their moisture content to ensure accurate mix proportions. Aggregates can exist in various moisture states: oven-dry (OD), air-dry (AD), saturated surface-dry (SSD), and wet. In mix design calculations, aggregates are usually assumed to be in the saturated surface-dry (SSD) condition, meaning the pores are filled with water, but the surface is dry. However, in practice, aggregates are often in an air-....
