Question

Tennis court, subjected to freezing

Required design strength =21 MPa

Slab thickness=300 mm

Statistical data indicate a standard deviation of compressive strength of 3.7 MPa is expected (for 50 samples)

Only air entrainer is allowed

Available materials:

Air=7%

Air entertainer: Manufacturer specification is 9.0 ML /1% air/100kg cement

Slump=50 mm

Coarse aggregate: 50 mm nominal maximum size, crushed stone

Bulk volume oven-dry specific gravity=2.61, absorption=2.8%, oven-dry rodded density=1870 kg/m3

Moisture content=1%

Fine aggregate: Natural sand

Bulk oven-dry specific gravity=2.54, absorption=3.4%

Moisture content= 4.5%

Fineness modulus=2.60

Cement: Type I, relative density=3.1

What is the maximum coarse aggregate size?
