Question: What sieve size is used to differentiate between coarse aggregate and fine aggregate for concrete ( choose one ) ? A . 1 inch B

What sieve size is used to differentiate between coarse aggregate and fine aggregate for concrete (choose one)?
A.1 inch
B. #200
C. #8
D. #4
The following preliminary concrete mix has been designed assuming that the aggregates are in oven-dry condition:
Water ,305lbyd3
Cement ,693lbyd3
Coarse Agg. ,1,674lbyd3
Fine Agg. ,1,100lbyd3
The aggregates at the plant have the following properties:
Coarse Agg. 0.5% absorption,2% moisture content
Fine Agg. ,0.7% absorption,6% moisture content
The amount of water (lbyd3) that would be used in the final mix is most nearly (show work, use additional paper if necessary):
A.206
B.222
C.305
D.388
14. A wood test specimen is 10 inches wide. The width of the specimen is in the tangential direction of annual growth rings, and the length is in the longitudinal direction. Assuming a fiber saturation point of 30% and an increase in moisture content from 15% to 35%, the new width of the specimen will be most nearly (show work, use additional paper if necessary):
A.10.5 inch
B.9.6 inch
C.9.5 inch
D.10.4 inch
