Question 1

What does voids content represent in aggregates?

  • The strength of the material
  • The percentage of space between particles
  • The color of the aggregate

💡 Hint: Think about what it tells us regarding how densely packed the aggregates are.

Question 2

True or False: A lower voids content requires more paste in concrete mixture.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between gaps and the paste required.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are provided with two types of aggregates: X (30% voids) and Y (15% voids). If a concrete mix requires an overall voids content of 20%, how would you mix the two aggregates to achieve the desired voids content?

💡 Hint: Remember the laws of averages in mixing different proportions and their voids.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where aggregates are improperly packed leading to higher voids content than anticipated. Discuss the potential challenges this may cause in a structural concrete application.

💡 Hint: Think about how the voids could affect water interaction with the concrete.
