QUESTIONS

Q1.    Your battalion has been tasked to replace a 5-inch-thick 2,000-square-yard reinforced concrete parking lot located at a naval air facility in northern Japan (extreme exposure). Your job is to design a concrete mix and determine the total quantities of materials needed to complete the project. Based on the parameters listed below, what is the (a) maximum size of the coarse aggregate that you should use, (b) amount of water (in gallons) needed for a 1-cubic-yard trial batch (c) amount of sand (in pounds) needed for a 1-cubic-yard trial batch (d) number of sacks of Type IA cement needed for the project, and (e) the amount (in tons) of coarse aggregate needed for the project?

Average 28-day compressive strength (based on flexural-design strength)    3,500 psi

Fineness modulus of fine aggregate    2.6

Specific gravity of portland cement    3.15

Specific gravity offine aggregate    2.75

Specific gravity of coarse aggregate    2.65

Dry-rodded weight of coarse aggregate    110 lb/cu ft

Dry-rodded weight of fine aggregate    100 lb/cu ft

Slump    2 in

Al. (A) 1 1/2 inches, (B) 33.0 gallons, (C) 860 pounds, (D) 1,848 sacks, (E) 333.9 tons.
