Hello! can you please help me with this? I'm stuck because we need to provide explanation and I don't know how to explain. Thank you in advance! Q: What is your process for testing the workability of concrete?
A batch of concrete consisted of 200 lbs. fine aggregate, 350 lbs. coarse aggregate, 94 lbs., cement and 5 gallons water. The specific gravity of sand and gravel may be taken as 2.65 and that of the cement as 3.10. How much by weight of cement is required to produce one cubic yard? Final answer must be in pounds.
Two batches of concrete cylinders were made with and without a calciumchloride (CaCl2) accelerator admixture. Six cylinders were made of each batch andsubmerged in water for different times before testing for compressive strengthand the results are shown in Table P6.35.It is required to do the following:a. Using an Excel sheet, plot the relationship between curing time andcompressive strength of the two mixes on the same graph. Label all axesand curves.b. Comment on the effect of the accelerator on the compressive strength ofPCC at early and late ages.
