Cement content = 400 kg / m
Step 4: Determination of the Stone Content
( ) FM K CBD Ma 1 . 0
Where:
Ma = mass of the stone in cubic meter of concrete (kg)
CBD
= dry compacted bulk density of stone (kg/ m) determined in accordance
with SABS Method 845
K = a factor which depends on the maximum size of stone and the workability of
the concrete.
FM = fineness modulus of sand determined in accordance with SABS Method 829
Therefore:
( ) 83 , 2 1 . 0 84 , 0 1650 Ma
Stone content = 919,05 kg / m
Step 5: Sand content
The sand content was calculated assuming full compaction of the concrete, due to
the fact that the volume of concrete is equal to the sum of absolute volume of
cement, sand, stone and water.

Where:
Ms = mass of the sand in cubic meter of concrete (kg) (ignoring air content)
Ds = density of the sand (kg/ m)
Mc = mass of the cement in cubic meter of concrete (kg)
Dc = density of the cement (kg/ m)
Ma = mass of the stone in cubic meter of concrete (kg)
Da = density of the stone (kg/ m)

The volume of concrete for each batch is represented below:
Volume of concrete for each batch (WEO) = 3 x { (9 x 0.15) + [3 x (0.1 x 0.1 x
0.5)] + 0.022 }
= 0.202 m
Volume of concrete for each batch (SP) = 3 x { (9 x 0.15) + [3 x (0.1 x 0.1 x

= 0.202 m
Volume of concrete for each batch (CONTROL) = (9 x 0.15) + [3 x (0.1 x 0.1
