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.
