Consider the mix proportions of the concrete given in the table below: Portland Component Aggregate (coarse Superplasticizer or & fine) Water cement cement substituents kg/m3 700 500 800 This concrete is to be used in a construction site where the designer and client have asked for a concrete mix with the following specifications: • The mix will have to be cost-effective • The environmental impact of concrete is of paramount importance to the client, and so the lower the carbon footprint of the concrete, the better. • Strength is also important, and so strategies for improving strength are welcomed. • The mix will be used to build steel reinforced structures for the ventilation shafts of a new sanitary sewer system in Sheffield, where the concrete will be exposed to acidic water. Therefore. special attention has to be paid to the durability of concrete. Explain two changes you would make to the mix proportions given in this photo to improve the strength and durability but be cost…
3) The design of a concrete mix requires 1173 kg/m3 of gravel in dry condition, 582 kg/m3 of sand in dry condition, and 157 kg/m3 of free water required. The gravel available at job site has a moisture content of 0.8 % and absorption of 1.5 %, and the available sand has a moisture content of 1.1 % and absorption of 1.3 %. Determine: - the masses of gravel, sand and water per cubic meter that should be used at job site and the theoretical unit weight of the mix. - Assume that the same volume of dry coarse aggregate was replaced by dry lightweight aggregate of low bulk specific gravity (0.6 g/cm3) and M=5%, A=5%. What would be the new theoretical unit weight ?

Compute for the corrected amount of water needed in the concrete mix if the mass of fine and coarse aggregates are 740 kg and 1100 kg, and both have a natural moisture content of 2% and 1.5% respectively. Water/cement ratio is 0.50 and the mass ratio of concrete is 1:2:3 o 216.3 kg o 171.9 kg o 170.2 kg o 153.7 kg Next.
A concrete mix required for construction of an industrial building. Cement is PKC32,5. Specific gravity of cement is 31.5 kg/dm3. Vibrator will be used during the placement of concrete. The grading analysis of bulk aggregate as follows. Specific gravities and bulk density of aggregates as follows: :2.60 kg/dm3 Coarse Aggregate :2.65 kg/dm³ :2.72 kg/dm 1.30 kg/dm3 1.70 kg/dm3 1.55 kg/dm3 Sand Pebble Target strength has been desired as 20 + 5 = 25 MPa Workability of the resulting concrete will be Plastic Minimum amount cement will be 350 kg/m³ Grading of the bulk aggregate at the site: Sieve size (mm) 16 8 4 1 0.5 0.25 Cumulative Passing (%) 100 64.8 48.7 32.8 24.0 12.0 4,5 Design a concrete mix which is already solved by using Eprical Formulas according to ACI and TS and compate the results,
