Concrete Mix Design - ACI Method 1. Concrete is required for counterweights on a lift bridge that will not be subjected to freezing and thawing conditions. An average 28-day compressive strength of 31 MPa will be required. Placement conditions permit a slump of 50 to 75 mm. at point of placement and a nominal maximum size aggregate of 25 mm. An investigation of economically available materials has indicated the following: Cement: ASTM C150 Type I (non-air entraining), SG = 3.15 Fine aggregate: Specular hematite, FM = 2.30, SG (Bulk SSD) = 4.95, Abs = 0.045% Coarse aggregate: Hematite, SG (Bulk SSD) = 4.65, Abs = 0.075%, dry-rodded weight = 2,600 kg/m³, nominal maximum size = 25 mm. Calculate the quantities of ingredients per cubic meter of concrete using ACI Method (absolute volume basis only for fine aggregates).

Give full explanation Awall form 14 ft high is filled with 160 lb per cu ft concrete at a tem perature of 70°F. The concrete is Type I without a retarder. Concrete will be placed with normal internal vibration to a depth of less than 4 ft. The rate of placement is 5 ft per hr. From Table 1, the value of Cw is 1.1 and from Table 2 the value of Cc is 1.0. The rate of placement is less than 7 ft per hr and the place ment height does not exceed 14 ft so calculate the lateral pressure by using appropriate formula.

UUURRRGGGEEENNNTTT PLEASE You are working on a concrete mix design that requires each cubic yard of concrete to have a 0.43 water–cement ratio, 2077 lb/yd3 of dry gravel 244 lb/yd3 of water, and 4% air content. The available gravel has a specific gravity of Ggravel = 2.6, moisture content of 2.3% and absorption of 4.5%. The available sand has a specific gravity of Gsand = 2.4, a moisture content of 2.2% and absorption of 1.7%. Air entrainer is to be included using the manufacturers specification of 0.1 fl. oz / 1% air / 100 lb cement. For each cubic yard of concrete needed on the job, calculate the weight of cement, moist gravel, moist sand, and water that should be added to the batch. Summarize and total the mix design when finished.
Answer by true or false for the following: 1-To prevent segregation, the height of free fall of concrete should exceed 1m in any case. * a-True b-False 2-Truck- mixed concrete is completely mixed within the mobile mixer after it has been charged at the central plant. * a-True b-False 3- Shotcreting is used for repairing deteriorated concrete. * a-True b- False 4- The Biaxial loading in compression test represents the most conservative system and yields the lowest values in compression. * a-True b-False 5- The slump of the concrete mix increases as the temperature of the mix increases. * a-True b-False

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. Specific Gravity = 3.15 Coarse Aggregate: Bulk Specific gravity (SSD) = 2.65; absorption capacity = 4%. Dry-rodded unit weight= 100 lb/ft: surface moisture 1.2% Fine Aggregate: Bulk Specific Gravity (SSD) = 2.60: Absorption capacity = 1.5%: Fireness modulus = 2.70: Surface moisture= 496 Structural members dimmensions: Columns: 8 pes 300mm x 300mm x 3100mm (Length x Width x Height) Beam: 9 pcs. 300mm x 500mm x 4000mm (Length x Width x Height) Slab: 12000mm x 4000mm x 400mm…
