STEP I – DETERMINE AGGREGATE WEIGHT

For No. 8 stone aggregate with no fine aggregate, Table 6.1 of ACI 522R-10 recommends b/bo as
0.99
 Wa = 1591.589 x 0.99

= 1575.673 Kg/m3

STEP II – ADJUST TO SSD WEIGHT

Given that the percentage absorbance of 2%

WSSD = 1575.673 * 1.02

= 1607.2 Kg/m3

STEP III – DETERMINATION OF PASTE VOLUME

From Fig. 6.3 of ACI 522R-10, taking required percentage voids as 20%, the paste percentage
was found to be 15%.

STEP IV – DETERMINATION OF CEMENT CONTENT

c = [ Vp / ( 0.306 + w/cm ) ] x 1000

= [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + w/cm ) ] x 1000

For w/cm = 0.3,

c = [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + 0.3 ) ] x 1000

= 247.52 Kg/m3

For w/cm = 0.32,

c = [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + 0.32 ) ] x 1000

= 239.62 Kg/m3

For w/cm = 0.34,

c = [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + 0.34 ) ] x 1000

= 232.2 Kg/m3
For w/cm = 0.37,

c = [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + 0.37 ) ] x 1000

= 221.89 Kg/m3

For w/cm = 0.4,

c = [ 0.15 / ( 0.306 + 0.4 ) ] x 1000

= 212.46 Kg/m3

STEP V – DETERMINE WATER CONTENT

w = c x (w/cm)

For w/cm=0.3,

w = 247.52 x 0.3

= 74.256 + 32 ( Due to water absorption )

= 106.256 Kg/m3

For w/cm=0.32,

w = 239.62 x 0.32

= 76.68 + 32 ( Due to water absorption )

= 108.68 Kg/m3

For w/cm=0.34,

w = 232.2 x 0.34

= 78.95 + 32 ( Due to water absorption )

= 110.95 Kg/m3
For w/cm=0.37,

w = 221.89 x 0.37

= 82.1 + 32 ( Due to water absorption )

= 114.1 Kg/m3

For w/cm=0.4,

w = 212.46 x 0.4

= 84.98 + 32 ( Due to water absorption )

= 116.98 Kg/m3
