Task a)

Step1 : Determining maximum aggregate size (Dmax).


Dmax must be consistent with the dimensions of the structural element.
Dmax can be determined from Table 3.

Dmax= 32 mm

Step 2: The Strength Class


Desired strength class C25/30; but we must select C30/37 strength class with respect to the exposure class
XF3 (Table 1) in TS EN 206

Step 3: Target Compressive strength (fcm)


Determine it from Table 4 considering standard deviation is known or not.

Since standard deviation is unknown → fcm=fck+Δ = 30 + 6 =36 MPa


Step 4: W/C ratio
Determine W/C ratio from Table 5 with respect to target compressive strength (fcu) and type of concrete

For fcm=36 MPa, W/C is now given in Table 5.


Therefore, Interpolation should be done to calculate w/c ratio for 36 MPa
. fcm . . W/C .
35 → 40 (5 MPa increment) 0.39 → 0.34 (0.05 reduction)
35 → 36 (1 MPa increment) 0.39 → x reduction .
x = (0.05/5)*1 = 0.01 → W/C = 0.39 – 0.01 = 0.38

⁎ Checking W/C (Table 1) : W/C = 0.38 < max W/C =0.50 √ OK

Step 5: Water content


Determine it from Figure 1:

Then, W = 190 kg
Assuming that super plasticizer reduces water content by 15% → W= 190*(1-0.15)=161.5 kg

Step 6: Cement content


W/C = 0.38 → C = 161.5 / 0.38 = 425 kg/m³

⁎ Checking C (Table 1) C = 425 kg/m³ > Cmin = 320 kg/m³ √ OK

Step 7 : Admixture Content


S.P. = 425 * 0.015 = 6.38 kg → VSP = 6.38 / 1.15 = 5.53 dm³ > 3 dm³
So, the water content of S.P. must be taken into account

⁎ 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.

Water adjustment : W’ = 161.5 – 4.47 = 157.03 kg

Step 8 : Amount of Aggregates:


1 m³ concrete = 1000 dm³ = Vagr + Vc + Vw + VSP + VAEA + Vair
425 6.38 0.21
𝑉𝑎𝑔𝑟 = 1000 − [ + 157.03 + + + 50] = 652.29 𝑑𝑚3

Natural Sand = A1 = (Vagr*δmix)*a1=652.29*2.73*0.47=836.95 kg


Crushed Stone #1 = A2 = (Vagr*δmix)*a2=652.29*2.73*0.25=445.19 kg
Crushed Stone #2 = A3 = (Vagr*δmix)*a3=652.29*2.73*0.28=498.61 kg
Step 9: Moisture Adjustment for aggregates & mix water
(+) : Dry Agg
(Aw – M)% = (0) : SSD
(-) : Moist Agg
Natural Sand : Aw – M= 1.5% - 3.5% = -2.0% Moist
Crushed Stone #1 : Aw – M= 0.8% - 0.6% = 0.2% Dry
Crushed Stone #2 : Aw – M= 0.5% - 0.5% = 0.0% SSD
Water adjustment due to the moisture content of the aggregates

𝑊𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝑊 ′ + ∑ 𝐴𝑖 (𝐴𝑊𝑖 − 𝑀𝑖 )
𝑊𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 157.03 + [836.95(−0.02) + 445.19(0.002)] = 141.18 𝑘𝑔

Aggregate content adjustment due to moisture content of aggregates


𝐴𝑖,𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝐴𝑖 − 𝐴𝑖 (𝐴𝑊𝑖 − 𝑀𝑖 )
𝐴1,𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝐴1 − 𝐴1 (𝐴𝑊1 − 𝑀1 ) = 836.95 − 836.95(−0.02) = 853.69 𝑘𝑔
𝐴2,𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝐴2 − 𝐴2 (𝐴𝑊2 − 𝑀2 ) = 445.19 − 445.19(0.002) = 444.30 𝑘𝑔

25
W/C = W2/C2 =0.38 → C2 = 173.5 / 0.38 = 456.58 kg > Cmin = 320 kg √ OK

S.P.2 = 456.58*0.015=6.85 kg → VSP2 = 6.85 / 1.15 = 5.96 dm³ > 3 dm³


So, the water content of S.P. must be taken into account

⁎ 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

456.58 6.85 0.23


𝑉𝑎𝑔𝑟2 = 1000 − [ + 168.70 + + + 60] = 620.17 𝑑𝑚3
3.15 1.15 1.01

Natural Sand = (A1)2 = (Vagr2*δmix)*a1=620.17*2.73*0.47 = 795.74 kg


Crushed Stone #1 = (A2)2 = (Vagr2*δmix)*a2=620.17*2.73*0.25 = 423.27 kg
Crushed Stone #2 = (A3)2 = (Vagr2*δmix)*a3=620.17*2.73*0.28 = 474.06 kg

Mixing water adjustment (due to moisture content of the aggregates)

𝑊2,𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 𝑊2′ + ∑(𝐴𝑖 )2 (𝐴𝑊𝑖 − 𝑀𝑖 )


𝑊2,𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 168.70 + [795.74(−0.02) + 423.27(0.002)] = 153.64 𝑘𝑔

Aggregate content adjustment due to moisture content of aggregates


𝐴1,2 𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 795.74 − 795.74(−0.02) = 811.65 𝑘𝑔
𝐴2,2 𝑎𝑑𝑗 = 423.27 − 423.27(0.002) = 422.42 𝑘𝑔

Evaluation for the Class : C30/37


𝑓𝑐,𝑎𝑣𝑔 ≥ 𝑓𝑐𝑘 + 4.0 (𝑀𝑃𝑎) → 43.4 ≥ 37 + 4.0 = 41 𝑀𝑃𝑎 √ OK
𝑓𝑐,𝑚𝑖𝑛 ≥ 𝑓𝑐𝑘 − 4.0 (𝑀𝑃𝑎) → 41.1 ≥ 37 − 4.0 = 33 𝑀𝑃𝑎 √ OK

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).

S = Smould + Sreinforcing_bar = Smould + Slongitudional + Sstirrup

Smould = (91*2 + 210) * 1000 = 392000 mm²


Slongitudional = (π*16*1000) * 4 = 201061.93 mm²
Sstirrup = π*8*[(91-35)*2 + (210 – 35.2)] * 5 = 31667.25 mm²

Then S = 392000 + 201061.93 + 31667.25 = 624729.18 mm²

Diameter : L = V/S = 191.1x10⁵ / 624729.18 = 30.59 mm

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!
