Concrete is required for walls of a building that will be Mild Exposed to freezing and thawing. The cross section of a wall is 300 x 1500 mm. The smallest spacing between reinforcing steel is 50 mm. The specified compressive strength of Compressive strength of concrete at 28 days is 35 MPa and a slump of 55 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.12, maximum size of aggregate 27 mm and fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.4, absorption capacity and moisture content of fine aggregate are of 0.92%, and 1.95% respectively. The dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate is 1820 kg/m³, absorption capacity and moisture content of coarse aggregate are of 0.75%, and 1.85% respectively. Both aggregates have a bulk specific gravity (SSD) of (2.45). 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.

Q-The strength of a fully matured concrete sample is 500 kg/cm². When cured at an average temperature of 20°C in day, 10°C in night, datum temperature To is -11°C. If Plowman constants A is 32 and B is 54, find the strength of identical concrete at 7 days.
A materials engineer is working in a research project to evaluate the effect of one type of admixture on the compressive strength of concrete. He tested eight mortar cubes made with admixture and eight others without admixture after 28 days of curing. The compressive strengths of cubes in MPa with and without admixture are shown in Table P6.38. Using the statistical t-test, is there a significant difference between the means of the compressive strengths of the two cement mortars at a level of signifi- cance of 0.10?
When describing the behavior of concrete under load, the popular belief is that concrete will crush when the unit strain reaches 0.003. if a 12-in tall concrete test cylinder is tested to the failure point in a testing machine what will be its height when it fails?
To evaluate the effect of a certain admixture on the flexure strength of concrete, two mixes were prepared, one without admixture and one with admixture.Three beams were prepared of each mix. All the beams had a cross section of 4 in. * 4 in. and a span of 12 in. The third-point loading flexure strength test was performed on each beam after 7 days of curing. The loads at failure of the beams without admixture were 6044, 5071, and 5934 lb, while the loads at failure of beams with admixture were 7299, 7305, and 6983. Determine:a. The modulus of rupture of each beam in psi.b. The average moduli of rupture of the beams without and with admixture.c. The percent of increase of the average modulus of rupture due to adding the admixture.
