A batch of concrete consisted of 200 lbs fine aggregate (sand), 400 lbs coarse aggregate(gravel), 95 lbs cement, and 5 gallons of water. The relative density of the sand and gravel may be taken as 0.65 and that the cement as 3.10 What was the total volume ofconcrete produced? FULL solution please thank u
Calculate the slump of fresh concrete mix if you know: 1. W/C =0.47 2. Sand = 648 Kg/m3. 3. Gravel = 1056 Kg/m?. 4. Dry rodded mass of coarse aggregate is 1650 Kg/m?.
A batch of concrete consisted of 200200 lbs. fine aggregate, 350350 lbs coarse aggregate, 9494 lbs cement, and 55 gallons water. The specific gravity of the sand and gravel may be taken as 2.652.65 and that of the cement as 3.103.10. What was the weight of concrete in place per cubic foot? How much by the weight of the cement is required to produce one cubic yard?
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).

What is the effect of water–cement ratio on the permeability of hardened concrete? How does permeability affect the durability of the concrete structure?Using Figure 7.33, what is the approximate percent increase in the coefficientof permeability if the water–cement ratio increases from 0.5 to 0.6? Using thesame figure, what is the approximate percent increase in the coefficient ofpermeability if the water–cement ratio increases from 0.5 to 0.7?
A batch of concrete is composed of 200 lbm fine aggregate, 350 lbm coarse aggregate, 94 lbm cement, and 5 gallons of water. The specific gravity of the fine and coarse aggregate is 2.65, and that of the cement as 3.10. What is the specific weight of concrete in lb/ft³?
You want to increase the sustainability of a concrete mixture by replacing 35% of the portland cement by mass with a locally available natural pozzolan that can be used in place of ordinary portland cement (CEMPOZZ). The quantity of cement in the concrete mixture is 620 lb/yd3. You can assume that the specific gravity of portland cement and CEMPOZZ are the same for this problem. What is the quantity of CEMPOZZ for the mixture? Round to the nearest whole number and do not include units when entering your answer.
