Calculate the field weights of the ingredients for 0.047 m3 of concrete by using ACI Method of Mix Design. Job specifications dictate the followings:
Cement content: 330 kg/m3
w/c: 0.58 (by weight, from the strength point of view)
w/c: 0.54 (by weight, from durability point of view)
Air Content: 1,40 %
For Fine Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.48, Total Moisture: 5,0 % and Absorption Aggregate: 2,8 %.
For Coarse Aggregate (Crushed): SSD Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.60, Absorption Capacity: 2.0 %, Total Moisture: 1.7 % and Dry Rodded Unit Weight: 1483 kg/m3.
Cement: Sulphate Resisting Cement, Specific Gravity: 3.18.

A 400 mm concrete wall supports a dead load of 280 KN/m and a live load of 230 KN. The allowable bearing pressure is 230 KN/m2 and the level of the bottom of the footing is 1.5 m below the ground surface. Assume concrete weighs 24 KN/m3, that of soil is 15.74 KN/m3, fc’ = 20.7 Mpa, fy = 248 MPa,. Use 25 mm diameter reinforcing bars. Thickness of footing = 500 mm and concrete cover is 75 mm. Calculate the:
(a) effective soil pressure,
(b) width of wall footing, and
(c) spacing of bars at critical section.

Q1. Gombo Water and Sanitation Company Limited has been having a
problem with regards to the operation of
the company which has caused the organization not to satisfy the
needs of the customers due to frequent
breakdown of water and sewerage pumps, residents receiving brownish
water and not addressing customer
complaints of high bills, residents not receiving adequate supply
of water and leakages in the distribution.
The other problem has been frequent sewerage blockages which
results in direct discharge of raw sewerage
into the Mulungushi River hence affecting the ecological process as
the main sewerage pipe crosses the
river. In May this year, the company was given a fine by
Environmental Management Agency of 50,000
Zambian Kwacha for discharging raw sewerage in the Mulungushi River
due to non-function of the
Biological filters. You have been engaged as a consultant by the
Government of the Republic of Zambia to
provide solutions to the challenges the utility is facing. What
professional advice would you give?
