A concrete mix with a 75 mm slump, w/c ratio of 0.50, and sand with a fineness modulus of 2.4 contains 1009 kg/m3 of coarse aggregate. Compute the required mass of coarse aggregate per cubic meter. To adjust the mix so as to increase the compressive strength, the water–cement ratio is reduced to 0.45. Will the quantity of coarse aggregate increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your answer.

You are working on a concrete mix design that requires each cubic yard ofconcrete to have 0.45 water–cement ratio, 1165 kg/m3 of dry gravel, 4% air content, and 335 kg/m3 of cement. The available gravel has a specific gravity of Ggravel = 2.7, a moisture content of 1.6%, and absorption of 2.4%. The available sand has a specific gravity of Gsand = 2.5, a moisture content of 4.8%, and absorption of 1.5%. For each cubic meter of concrete needed on the job, calculate the mass of cement, moist gravel, moist sand, and water that should be added to the batch. Summarize and total the mix design when finished (don’t include air entrainer in summary).

Concrete is required for several structural members of a residential house. Due to the present moisture, it is expected that the concrete shall be non-aerated (Non AE) with a 28 day compressive strength of 3.000 psi for slabs and 4,000 psi for beams and columns. Due to extra moisture present in the site, the slump to be used shall be the minimum allowed by the ACI mix. Using a 3/4 inch max aggregate size, compute for the weight of cement, water coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate. Aggregate details: Cement: Type 1.
