Table 1 is an experimental result of a sieve analysis on fine aggregates which has not been calculated except the weight of the fine aggregates retained on each sieve and the pan. Table 2 shows proportions of the fine aggregates which yet to calculate for four different concrete mix designs. Figure 1 shows relationships between proportions of fine aggregates with water-cement ratios for different maximum sizes of aggregates according the design method of Department of Environment, United Kingdom. ‘Table 1: Experimental results of sieve analysis of fine aggregates Sieve Sizes | Weigh of Percentage | Cumulative | Cumulative aggregate retained | retained percentage —_| percentage (2) passing retained 10mm 0 5.0 mm 6 _— 236mm 31 1.18 mm 30 — 600 jum 39 300 um 107 150 pm 33 <150 um 21 Table 2: Proportion of fine aggregates for four concrete mix designs Concrete | Max size of | Slump | Water- | Percentage of the | Percentage of the Mix aggregates | (mm) | cement | aggregates passed | fine aggregates Design | (mm) ratios | sieve sizes 600 from the total (wie) | um (from Table 1) | aggregates (from Figure 1) 1 10 0-10 04 2 20 10-30 05 3 40 30-60 0.6 4 40 60-180 | 0.7 - - LC iKKKH2264Proportion of fine aggregate size-percent KKKH2264 water ‘coment rato (o) Max aggregate size - 40mm Figure 1: Proportion of fine aggregates (in percentages) against water-cement ratios for different values of slump and aggregates maximum sizes (The numbers in the graphs are refered to the percentages of the fine aggregates passed the 600 jim sieve). a) Copy Table 1 and complete the empty columns as they should be calculated.

Describe briefly the engineering meaning of the following statements. a) A newly prepared concrete mix has a slump 150mm but due to late casting and exposure to hot weather, the mix has a slump loss of about 50mm. (6 marks) b) A thermal plastic is cheaper than the thermoset plastic because the former is recyclable. (6 marks) ©) The tensile strength of a timber plank depends on its grain and knots.
