Determine the quantities of materials required per cubic yard to create a concrete mix. The specifications require a maximum size aggregate of 3/4 in., a minimum cement content of 6 sacks per cy, and a maximum water-cement ratio of 0.5. Assume 7% air voids. Consider the ratio of course aggregates to be 65% of the total aggregates by volume. Please refer to the standard weights & densities (at the end of the test) for specific gravities and unit conversions.
