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 ?
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.

A Marshall specimen is prepared for bituminous concrete with a bitumen content of 5 percent by weight of total mix. The theoretical and the measured unit weights of the mix are 2.442 g/cm3 and 2.345 g/cm3, respectively. The bitumen has a specific gravity of 1.02. The percent voids in mineral aggregate filled with bitumen (VFB) are
To evaluate the effect of a certain admixture on the flexure strength of concrete, two mixes were prepared, one without admixture and one with admixture.Three beams were prepared of each mix. All the beams had a cross section of 4 in. * 4 in. and a span of 12 in. The third-point loading flexure strength test was performed on each beam after 7 days of curing. The loads at failure of the beams without admixture were 6044, 5071, and 5934 lb, while the loads at failure of beams with admixture were 7299, 7305, and 6983. Determine:a. The modulus of rupture of each beam in psi.b. The average moduli of rupture of the beams without and with admixture.c. The percent of increase of the average modulus of rupture due to adding the admixture.
