Question: A concrete mixture is required for a thin wall. The Nominal Maximum size of the coarse aggregate is 3 8 . The specific gravity

A concrete mixture is required for a thin wall. The Nominal Maximum size of the coarse aggregate is 38". The specific gravity of the stone is 2.772, a % moisture of 2.8 and 0.7% absorption; the dry rodded unit weight 101lbsft3. The cement will Type I, with a specific gravity of 3.15.
The structure will be inside and NO-AIR would be needed. (Consider 3% entrapped air for calculations)
Concrete will have a slump between 3-4" at the plant, and 8+-1" inches after the addition of the Super Plasticizer, since it will be pumped.
The minimum compressive strength (f'c) for this concrete would be 2500 psi in 28 days.
The concrete sand has a FM=2.40, a specific gravity of 2.669, a moisture content of 5.7%, and the Absorption of 0.5%.
A Super Plasticizer Water Reducer will be used, at a dosage of 12fl.0z100# of cement.
Determine the Final Adjusted weights of the concrete mixture, knowing that NO previous data is available for the mix.
Please, indicate the units of each one of the data calculated and determined.
If the WC falls between 2 strength values, use the average of the 2 values.
