Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. Dry weight of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water for 1 m3 of one type of concrete requires 1100 kg, 680 kg and 175 liters, respectively. From laboratory test for, it is determined that absorption content of coarse and fine aggregates is 0.5% and 1.25%, respectively. Meanwhile, moisture content of coarse and fine aggregate is 0.75% and 1.0%, respectively. Determine weight of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water for one batch with volume of mixer of 800 liter.
In proportioning a concrete mix, the coarse and fine aggregates had the following properties respectively; Coarse: Dry weight: 800lb, 3,2% MC, 2.0% AC, Fine: Dry weight 350 lb, 1.2% MC, 2.9% AC. How much should the water be adjusted to account for the agregate moisture?

The water/cement ratio needed to obtain zero porosity (Vcp=0) in a fully hydrated cement paste is: (Assume volume of cement =100 m3). (note: Vcp= Vec+Vcw) *
For 100g cement with w/c=0.5 and the volume of the capillary pores (Vcp) equal to 40 ml, the degree of hydration (h%) is equal to: (note: Vcp= Vec+Vcw)
For concrete production, we mix 625 kg of fine aggregate and 830 kg of coarse aggregate. The fine aggregate has a moisture content of 2.3% and absorption of 3.2%, whereas the coarse aggregate has a moisture content of 1.5% and absorption of 2.8%.

Concrete was mixed with the following ingredients: 20.7 kg of cement, 39.2 kg of sand, 60.9 kg of gravel, and 14.6 kg of water. The sand has a moisture content of 3.3% and an absorption of 4.7%. The gravel has a moisture content of 3.6% and an absorption of 4.5%. Since water absorbed in the aggregate does not react with the cement or improve the workability of the plastic concrete, what is the water–cement ratio of this mix according to the American Concrete Institute’s weight mix design method? If a water–cement ratio of 0.5 is required using the same materials and ingredients but different amount of mixing water, what is the mass of the mixing water to use?
