Need 1 m3 of 35 N/mm2concrete (specified compressivestrength). From testing a representative sample from the aggregate pile, the total moisturecontent of the fine aggregate is 4.3%. The standard proportions of the batch quantities for a 35 N/mm2 mixture are 125 kg of water, 545 kg (in dry condition) of coarse aggregate, and 477 kg (in dry condition) of fine aggregate per cubic meter. The absorption capacity of the fine aggregates is 0.55%. a) What is the amount of fine aggregates required in order to have 477 kg in the dry condition?
