A batch of concrete consisted of 204.42 lbm fine aggregate, 269.68 lbm coarse aggregate, 107.79 Ibm cement, and 7.89 gal of water. The specific gravity of sand and gravel may be taken as 2.343, and that of the cement is 3.658. Determine the length of the edge in fathoms of a cubical vessel that can hold this batch of concrete.

You want to increase the sustainability of a concrete mixture by replacing 35% of the portland cement by mass with a locally available natural pozzolan that can be used in place of ordinary portland cement (CEMPOZZ). The quantity of cement in the concrete mixture is 620 lb/yd3. You can assume that the specific gravity of portland cement and CEMPOZZ are the same for this problem. What is the quantity of CEMPOZZ for the mixture? Round to the nearest whole number and do not include units when entering your answer.

Design of a concrete mix showed that 1 m3 of the mix contains 320 kg cement, 540 kg sand. A trial mix having the same proportions as the designed mix, enough for 6 standard cubes, containing 3.5 liters water was made.
