Solution
Step 01:

Select Slump value

Selected value

3 inches

Step 02:

Select approximate mixing water and entrapped air

content for max: agg: size and selected slump value

1030.303 lb/cu.yrd

Step 04:

For the fineness modulus value of F.A and max: agg: size of C.A, get vol: of
dry rodded C.A per unit vol: of concrete from following table.

Volume of C.A per unit vol: of concrete

C.A will occupy

Then oven dry weight
The absorption capacity of C.A
Then SSD weight of C.A
