The following are the approximate quantities of 1 yd3 of concrete:
Original | Adjusted | Constant Air Adjustment | ||||
Cement | 515 lb | ? | ? | |||
Water | 305 lb | ? | ? | |||
Fine aggregate | 1,120 lb | ? | ? | |||
Coarse aggregate | 1,830 lb | ? | ? | |||
Air | 4 % | ? | ? |
Check the volumes of these constituents and adjust the quantities, if required, to produce 1 yd3. GSSD (RDSSD) is 2.68 and 2.65 for the fine and the coarse aggregate, respectively.
