Note:hand written solution should be avoided.
Find the quantity of cement.
We require a mix with a mean 28-day compressive strength of 40 MPa the size of the member and the spacing of the reinforcement require a slump of 45 mm and a maximum size of aggregate of 28 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.15, dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate 1750 kg/m³ and bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.55. The fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.8 and bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.5 ,No air entrainment is required. Neglect water absorption and moisture content of both aggregates. The aggregates conform to the ASTM C33-84 requirements for grading. Estimate the quantity of (cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water) for 1m³ concrete.
One cubic yard of fresh concrete mix includes 1900 lbs coarse and 1150 lbs fine aggregates. Water-cement ratio (W/C) for the mix is 0.5. Given information: Concrete weight = 150 pcf Weight of standard cement bags 94 lbs Water weight = 8.34 pounds per gallon Approximately how many bags of Portland cement should be added to each cubic yard of this mix? 4 bags 5 bags 6 bags 7 bags

Round to the nearest whole number and do not include units when entering your answer.
Calculate the weight of cement that should be in a batch if the design mix requires concrete to have water-cement ratio of 0.45, dry gravel of 1258 kg/m3, water of 122 kg/m3 and 6% of air content. Use the following: Gravel Specific Gravity = 2.65 Moisture Content = 2.5% Absorption = 4% Sand Specific Gravity = 2.42 Moistur Content = 2.17% Absoprtion = 1.86 % Select the correct response: 253.16 kg/m3 O 122 kg/m3 395.56 kg/m3 271.11 kg/m3
