Quick answer.
Concrete is required for walls of a building that will be Moderately exposed to freezing and thawing. The cross section of a wall is 300 x 1500 mm. The smallest spacing between reinforcing steel is 50 mm. The specified compressive strength of concrete at 28 days is 30 MPa and a slump of 40 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.12, maximum size of aggregate 27 mm and fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.4, absorption capacity and moisture content of fine aggregate are of 0.92%, and 1.95% respectively. The dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate is 1820 kg/m³, absorption capacity and moisture content of coarse aggregate are of 0.75%, and 1.85% respectively. Both aggregates have a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of (2.45). 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 high-density polyethelene (HDPE) [E = 780 MPa; v = 0.46] rod has a djameter of 70 mm before load P is applied. In order to maintain certain clearances, the diameter of the rod must not exceed 71 mm when loaded. What is the largest permissible compressive load P that can be applied to the HDPE rod? Answer: P = KN
Two 150 mm * 300 mm concrete cylinders with randomly oriented steelfiber contents of 0 and 2% by weight, respectively. After curing for 28 days,the specimens were subjected to increments of compressive loads until failure. The load versus deformation results were as shown in Table P7.45. Assuming that the gauge length is the whole specimen height, determine the following:a. The compressive stresses and strains for each specimen at each loadincrement.b. Plot stresses versus strains for the two specimens on one graph.c. The initial modulus of elasticity for each specimen.d. The ultimate strength for each specimen.e. The strain at failure for each specimen.f. Toughness. Curves may be approximated with a series of straight lines.g. Comment on the effect of adding fiber on the following:i. Modulus of elasticityii.
