Question
The following table represents a concrete mixture that has not been completely proportioned. The values given are the theoretical mixture proportions (oven
dry basis). Material properties are also provided. Please answer the question at the end of the information given.
Theoretical Mixture Proportions (oven dry basis)
265 lb/yd3
675 lb/yd3
Water
Cement
Air
|6.00 %
Coarse Aggregate
1816 Ib/yd3
ASTM C 150 Type I Cement: Specific Gravity: 3.15
Coarse Aggregate:
Well-graded 3/4 in. NMSA rounded gravel
Oven-dry specific gravity: 2.63
Absorption: 1.10%
Moisture content of stockpile: 3.10 %
Oven-dry bulk density: 101.5 lb/ft³
Fine Aggregate:
