Consider the following example: The 28-day compressive strength should be 4,000 psi. The slump should be between 3 and 4 in. and the maximum aggregate size should not exceed 1 in. The coarse and fine aggregates in the storage bins are wet. The properties of the materials are as follows:. Cement : Type I, specific gravity = 3.15
Coarse Aggregate: Bulk specific gravity (SSD) = 2.70; absorption
capacity = 1.1%; dry-rodded unit weight = 105 lb./ft.3
surface moisture = 1%
Fine Aggregate: Bulk specific gravity (SSD) = 2.67; absorption
capacity = 1.3%; fineness modulus = 2.70;
surface moisture = 1.5%
