Question 1

What does bulk density refer to?

  • Weight of cement
  • Weight of aggregate in a unit volume
  • Weight of water

💡 Hint: It’s directly related to the aggregates, not cement or water.

Question 2

True or False: Higher voids content means less cement paste needed in the mix.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what voids represent.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A batch of aggregate weighs 2400 kg and fills 1.2 m³. Calculate the bulk density and discuss its implications for concrete mix design.

💡 Hint: Use the density formula and think about how density affects overall strength.

Question 2

In an aggregate mix, the void content is tested to be 25%. If the total volume of the mix is 9 m³, how much volume of paste will be needed?

💡 Hint: Consider the role of voids in determining how much paste is required.
