Find the weight (in kg) of cement, water, flyash, fine andcoarse aggregate to produce a cement/flyash mix for pumpedconcrete, using the British Method that has a characteristic28-day compressive strength of 45 MPa. One hundred laboratory testresults on the controlling mix show a standard deviation of 5.3 MPa(k=1.65). The exposure classification for durability purposes is A2and the conditions require a fly ash/ high early strength cementblend (with a 40% proportion of fly ash). The specific gravity ofthe crushed coarse 20 mm aggregate to be used is 2850kg/m³ and its dry rodded density is 1600kg/m³. The specific gravity of fine aggregate is 2750kg/m³ and its fineness modulus is 2.5. Assume the highearly strength cement density is 3150 kg/m³ and fly ashdensity to be 2000 kg/m³
