Concept explainers

Consolidation parameters

Consolidation is the process of expulsion of pore water present in the voids of soil solids under the pressure of the applied load. This is a quick process in the case of coarse-grained soils since the permeability is high due to the presence of more voids, while it is a slow and gradual process in the case of clayey soil as the permeability of clay is less. An example of consolidation is the settlement of soil under a building due to the load coming from the building.

What conclusion can be made from concrete slump test.
A heavily reinforced retaining wall is to be constructed and you are asked to design a concrete mixfollowing the ACI methodology. The concrete mix specifications are:o Characteristic compressive strength of 30 N/mm 2 at 28 days.o Failure rate of 1%o Previous control data yielded a standard deviation of 2 N/mm 2o Air-entraining is required for extreme exposureo Minimum cement content 450 kg/m 3o Required slump 160 mmo Maximum aggregate size 10 mmo Fineness modulus of aggregates is 2.90o Dry rodded mass of coarse aggregates is 1650 kg/m 3o Relative density of aggregates: 2.5o Coarse aggregate has 3% moisture.o Fine aggregate has 4% moisture.o Volume of the required trial mix: 18 m 3 Following the ACI step-by-step process estimate the cement content of the mix, the total mix quantities required for this project and Using the ACI volumetric approach, provide the estimated mix quantities for the above specifications and comment on any differences between the mass approached followed in the…
