Consider the mix proportions of the concrete given in the table below: Portland Component Aggregate (coarse Superplasticizer or & fine) Water cement cement substituents kg/m3 700 500 800 This concrete is to be used in a construction site where the designer and client have asked for a concrete mix with the following specifications: • The mix will have to be cost-effective • The environmental impact of concrete is of paramount importance to the client, and so the lower the carbon footprint of the concrete, the better. • Strength is also important, and so strategies for improving strength are welcomed. • The mix will be used to build steel reinforced structures for the ventilation shafts of a new sanitary sewer system in Sheffield, where the concrete will be exposed to acidic water. Therefore. special attention has to be paid to the durability of concrete. Explain two changes you would make to the mix proportions given in this photo to improve the strength and durability but be cost…
Questions 30 is based on the information below: An asphalt concrete mix design has the following properties. The densities of the binder and aggregate are 1.090 g/cm³ and 2.760 g/cm³, respectively. The bulk density of the entire mix is 2.220 g/cm³. The percent binder content is 6.2% (by weight). Assume no absorption. V₁= 1.0 cm³ Volume Vv Vb Vs AIR Binder Aggregate Mass Mb Ms Mt 30. As an engineer, you are asked to use this mix design for a 25 kilometer-long section of roadway where the total pavement width is 8.0 meters and the thickness is 15 centimeters. What is the (a) total volume of binder and (b) the total volume of aggregate that you would need to purchase? Also, determine the (c) total %air voids in the mix.

Highways Engineering Example2: Determine percentages air voids and voids filled with binder to obtain a unit weight value for the mix of 2.349 g/cm3, given that: % of coarse aggregate 54%, Gc=2.64 % of fine aggregate = 40%, Gf=2.66 % of mineral filler = 6%, Gmf=2.85 % of biner content by the total weight of the mix= 5.3%, Gb=1.02
2) Two aggregates (Al and A2) were obtained from the field. They were brought to the oven dry condition (OD) and weighed. Data for each of the aggregates is presented in the table below. (Density of water=lg/cm³) Table 1. Absorption capacity and moisture content data. A1 A2 600 g 600 g Field Weight Oven Dry Weight Absorption Capacity (%) | 0.6 % 595.3 g 598.3 g 0.7 % a) Describe the field moisture state of each aggregate, Al and A2 (i.e. wet, SSD, or air dry). For each sample would you add water or dry the sample to bring it to SSD state? Determine the expected mass of each sample in the SSD state. b) If the bulk volume Al oven dry is 220 cm³ and the bulk volume of A2 oven dry is 250 cm³, determine the bulk oven dry specific gravity for each aggregate, Al and A2.
A wood pole with a diameter of 10 in. has a moisture content of 5%. The fibe saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 30%.
