    Aggregate Type Source Dry Rodded Density KG Specific Gravity Water Absorption

    Uploaded by

    Matumbi Naito
    This document provides mix design details for a concrete including: 1) Aggregate sources and properties like density and water absorption 2) Target concrete properties like density, slump, and compressive/flexural strength 3) An absolute volume mix design calculation specifying materials needed per cubic meter of concrete based on standards and test results. The calculation accounts for moisture contents and determines corrected quantities of aggregates and water.
