Chapter 6, Problem 6.31QP

A concrete mix includes the following ingredients per cubic foot:

a. Cement = 25 lb

b. Water = 11 lb

c. No admixture

Table P6.31 shows possible changes that can be made to the mix ingredients. Indicate in the appropriate boxes in the table what will happen in each case for the workability and the ultimate compressive strength as increase, decrease, or approximately the same.

A concrete mix includes the following ingredients per cubic meter: a. Cement = 400 kg b. Water = 176 kg c. No admixture Table P6.30 shows possible changes that can be made to the mix ingredi- ents. Indicate in the appropriate boxes in the table what will happen in each case for the workability and the ultimate compressive strength as increase, decrease, or approximately the same.
Problem 2: If f = 3 ksi what is the modulus of elasticity Ec and the maximum tensile stress fr that the concrete can carry before cracking (use ACI recommended equations). Assume a unit weight of the plain concrete is: a. Wc = 90- b. w lb lb 118- ft39 ft3) C. W = 160- Problem 3: Wight 3-6 Rugblom 4: Wight ? 7 lb ft3
Q.1 Two groups of concrete produced with exactly the same mixing properties are given in the Table below. Select the group you expect to have higher compressive strength by explaining the reason in your own words and by calculating if necessary.
