9 ADJUSTMENT FOR MOISTURE IN THE AGGREGATE

The weight of fine aggregate from stock pile

Weight stock pile = Weight OD x ( 1 + MC )
Weight stock pile = 483.6150996 x ( 1 + 0.043 )
= 504.4105488 kg

The weight of coarse aggregate from stock pile

Weight stock pile = 984 x ( 1 + MC )
Weight stock pile = 984 x ( 1 + 0.01 )
= 993.84 kg

The required mixing water

205 kg - 483.6150996 x ( 0.043 - 0.01 )
