Design a concrete mix for reinforced concrete beams of a structure. The structure is located in a locality wherein water has excess of chlorides in it. Required average compressive strength of concrete has been determined to be 4700 psi. Beams have cross-section of 9 in. x 21 in. reinforced with 4 # 6 bars. Reinforcement has a concrete cover of 1.25 in. and there is a clear space of 1.0 in. between form surface and steel bars. Fine aggregate has bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.63; absorption capacity of 1.25%; surface moisture of 3.0% and a fineness modulus of 2.75. Coarse aggregate has bulk specific gravity (SSD) of 2.70; absorption capacity of 2.50 %; surface moisture of 1.75% based on SSD state and dry-rodded unit weight of 110 lb/ft3. Design concrete mix following the step-by-step method of ACI 211.1-91 for the subject beams and tabulate the quantities of ingredient materials in lb/yd3, lb/ft3 and 1.5 lb/ft3. Provide reference of relevant ACI Tables in each step.

Design a concrete mix using ACI Method required for an exterior
column to be located above ground level in an area where it will be
wet and subjected to substantial freezing and thawing. The concrete
is required to have an average 28-day compressive strength of 30
MPa. For the conditions of placement, the slump should be between
25 and 100 mm. The column is 300 mm square with a minimum clear
space for aggregate of 50 mm. The properties of...

A reinforced concrete bearing wall supports 12” wide beams
bearing on the full width of the wall spaced 10’ o.c. The bottom of
the wall is a fixed connection. The top of the wall is a pinned
connection. The wall is 20’ tall. The load from each beam, Pu, is
30 kips. Determine whether a 10” wide wall will work for this
condition. Select vertical and horizontal reinforcing steel.

Design a concrete mix for the superstructure of a
building using DoE mix design method requiring a characteristic
strength of 40MPa at 28days and a slump of 30-60mm. The materials
available are ordinary Portland cement, and uncrushed fine and
coarse aggregates of specific gravity of 2.65. The maximum nominal
size of coarse aggregate is 10mm and fine aggregate confirms to the
grading zone III. Neglect the effect of standard deviation and
other factors.
