Calculate the field weights of the ingredients for 0.039 m3 ofconcrete by using ACI Method of Mix Design. Job specificationsdictate the followings:Â Â
Cement content: 300 kg/m3
w/c: 0.57 (by weight, from the strength point of view)
w/c: 0.53 (by weight, from durability point of view)
Fine Aggregate (SSD)/Coarse Aggregate (SSD)=0.45 (by weight)
Air Content: 1,30 %Â Â
For Fine Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.47,Total Moisture: 5,0 % and Absorption Aggregate: 2,7%. Â
For Coarse Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.60,Absorption Capacity: 2.0 %, Total Moisture: 1.9 % and Dry RoddedUnit Weight: 1470 kg/m3.
Cement: Sulphate Resisting Cement, Specific Gravity: 3.17
