Transcribed Image Text:We require a mix with a mean 28-day Required Average Compressive
Strength of 32 MPa the size of the member and the spacing of the
reinforcement require a slump of 70 mm and a maximum size of
aggregate of 32 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.
