The weights of ingredients in SSD state for making 1 cyd ofconcrete are given below: Water: 270 lb; Cement: 732 lb; CoarseAggregates: 1,983 lb; Fine Aggregates: 1,000 lb Moisture content ofboth coarse and fine aggregates in the stock is −0.5%, andabsorption capacity of both coarse and fine aggregates is 3%. Q.3Determine the weight of mix water (Ww) for the purpose of computingthe temperature of concrete. Note: Ww is adjusted weight of water(adjusted for aggregate moisture) that we compute in Step 9 ofconcrete mix design. Q.4 Determine the temperature of theaggregates (Ta) needed to achieve a fresh concrete temperature(Tconcrete) of 63°F. Assume that the coarse and fine aggregates areat the same temperature (Ta). Given, the temperature of water is60°F and the temperature of cement is 70°F..
