Design a concrete mix (using DOE method) for a reinforced concrete work. The percentage of defectives is 10%. The number of tested cubes are 18.The concrete is to be designed for a characteristic compressive strength of 40MPa at the age 28 days with 30- 60mm slump and rapid hardening Portland cement. Maximum size of aggregate is 20mm crushed aggregate will be used. Sieve analysis shows that fine aggregate within Lo a-RC IS
The increased surface area of manufactured aggregates (e.g. crushed stone) contributes to a more fluid and flowable concrete in its fresh state. True False
5. Design the concrete mix according to the following conditions: Design Environment Building frame Required design strength = 27.6 MPa Minimum dimension = 150 mm Minimum space between rebar = 40 mm Minimum cover over rebar = 40 mm Maximum slump is required Statistical data indicate a standard deviation of compressive strength of 2.1 MPa is expected (more than 30 samples). Only air entrainer is allowed. Available Materials Air entrainer: Manufacture specification 6.3 ml/1% air/100 kg cement. (Use maximum or +2% air content) Coarse aggregate: 19 mm nominal maximum size, river gravel (rounded) Bulk oven-dry specific gravity = 2.55, Absorption = 0.3% Oven-dry rodded density = 1761 kg/m3 Moisture content = 2% Fine aggregate: Natural Sand Bulk oven-dry specific gravity = 2.659, Absorption = 0.5% Moisture content = 2% Fineness modulus = 2.47
We require a mix with a mean 28-day compressive strength of 40 MPa the size of the member and the spacing of the reinforcement require a slump of 45 mm and a maximum size of aggregate of 28 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.15, dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate 1750 kg/m³ and bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.55. The fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.8 and bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.5 ,No air entrainment is required. Neglect water absorption and moisture content of both aggregates. The aggregates conform to the ASTM C33-84 requirements for grading. Estimate the quantity of (cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water) for 1m³ concrete.
Although the constituents of concrete (aggregate and hydrated cement paste) behave in a linear elastic manner if stress is applied to them and the resulting strain is measured, concrete is not a linear elastic material throughout its entire stress-strain curve. What is the main reason for the deviation from this behavior? Interfacial transition zone (ITZ) Incomplete hydration of cementitious phases The loading rate applied according to ASTM C 39 presence of C-S-H very close to the aggregate/paste interface
Q2: Paraphrase successfully? The effect of the modification on various strength and working characteristics parameters of a typical concrete have been investigated by Macclain. Two epoxy resins with P/C ratios of 20 and 30 % have been used. He concluded that the modification of conventional Portland cement with epoxy resin has been found to result improvements in the compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of clasticity. He also stated that the durability were increased by 30% at age of 90 days. 10 deg.
