Dmax= 32 mm
Then, W = 190 kg
Assuming that super plasticizer reduces water content by 15% → W= 190*(1-0.15)=161.5 kg
⁎ 70% of S.P. is water then, water coming from S.P. = 6.38 * 0.7 = 4.47 kg
A.E.A. = 425 * 0.0005 = 0.21 kg → VAEA = 0.21 / 1.01 = 0.21 dm³
Water content of A.E.A can be ignored.
𝑊𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝑊 ′ + ∑ 𝐴𝑖 (𝐴𝑊𝑖 − 𝑀𝑖 )
𝑊𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 157.03 + [836.95(−0.02) + 445.19(0.002)] = 141.18 𝑘𝑔
⁎ 70% of S.P. is water then, water coming from S.P. = 6.85 * 0.7 = 4.8 kg
A.E.A.2 = 456.58 * 0.0005 = 0.23 kg → VAEA2 = 0.23 / 1.01 = 0.23 dm³
Water content of A.E.A can be ignored.
Water adjustment : W2’ = 173.5 – 4.8 = 168.70 kg
Tested concrete specimens conform to the requirements for the strength class of C30/37.
Task d)
h’ = 35 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 91 mm
F = bw * h’ = 210*91 = 19110 mm²
V = F * L = 19110 * 1000 = 191.1x10⁵ mm³
S : The sum of areas of the surfaces which are in contact with concrete in volume (V).
Evaluation :
Dmax/L < 0.8 → No wall effect
0.8 < Dmax/L < 1.0 → Concrete must be carefully placed
Dmax/L > 1 → Concrete cannot be placed, Dmax must be decreased!
Dmax/L = 32 / 30.59 = 1.05 > 1 → Concrete cannot be placed, Dmax must be decreased!
