3) The design of a concrete mix requires
1173 kg/m3 of gravel in dry condition,
582 kg/m3 of sand in dry condition, and
157 kg/m3 of free water required. The
gravel available at job site has a
moisture content of 0.8 % and absorption
of 1.5 %, and the available sand has a
moisture content of 1.1 % and absorption
of 1.3 %. Determine:
- the masses of gravel,
sand and water per
cubic meter that
should be used at job
site and the theoretical
unit weight of the mix.
- Assume that the
same volume of dry
coarse aggregate was
replaced by dry
lightweight aggregate
of low bulk specific
gravity (0.6 g/cm3) and
M=5%, A=5%. What
would be the new
theoretical unit weight
?
