find the centroid of the area bounded by the curves y^2=x and x=4
Design the concrete mix according to the following conditions:
Design Environment
Building frame
Required design strength = 27.6 MPa
Minimum dimension = 150 mm
Minimum space between rebar = 40 mm
Minimum cover over rebar = 40 mm
Maximum slump is required
Statistical data indicate a standard deviation of compressive strength of 2.1 MPa is
expected (more than 30 samples).
Only air entrainer is allowed.
Available Materials
Air entrainer: Manufacture specification 6.3 ml/1% air/100 kg cement. (Use maximum
or +2% air content)
Coarse aggregate: 19 mm nominal maximum size, river gravel (rounded)
Bulk oven-dry specific gravity = 2.55, Absorption = 0.3%
Oven-dry rodded density = 1761 kg/m³
Moisture content = 2%
Fine aggregate: Natural Sand
Bulk oven-dry specific gravity = 2.6
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/m³of free water. The gravel available at the 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%. What are the masses of gravel, sand, and water per cubic meter that should be used at the job site?
What is your recommendation for the maximum size of coarse aggregate for the following situation? A continuously reinforced concrete pavement cross section contains a layer of No.6 reinforcing bars at 6-inch centers, such that the steel is just above mid-depth of a 10-inchthick slab. Cover over the top of the steel is therefore about 4 inches.
A project specifies a concrete strength of at least 3000 psi. Materials engineers will design
the mix for a strength higher than that. Calculate the required average compressive strength of
the mix design if the standard deviation is s = 350 psi. Estimate the modulus of elasticity of the
concrete at the required average compressive strength.
