Find the quantity of cement.
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.

Three concrete mixes with the same ingredients, except the amount of mixing water, and their slump values were obtained. Three 100 mm * 200 mm concrete cylinders were prepared for each mix. The cylinders were cured for 7 days and then tested for compressive strength. The test results are as shown. Assume that the aggregate was at the saturated surface-dry condition before adding mixing water.It is required to do the following:a. Determine the compressive strength of each cylinder after 7 days.b. Determine the average compressive strength of each mix after 7 days.c. Determine the w/c ratio for each mix.
