Civil Read  properly Q- Membersof the ACI Building Code committee conducted a study, and the results showed that the scatter in the modulus of elasticity did not support the use of a different or "more precise" formulation. As a result, the equation (Eci) can be applied generally. Calculations should be based on project mixture design test results if a project calls for a more exact estimation of the modulus of elasticity. Where f 0 ci is the strength of the concrete at the moment of transfer in psi and wc is the unit weight of the concrete in pcf, which is often taken to be 160 pcf for precast concrete and 150 pcf for cast-in-place concrete.   Members with post-tension tensioning sequence affects elastic shortening in post-tensioned members. Tendons may be stressed to a maximum of 0.80 fpu, however the stress in the tendon right after seating must be 0.70 fpu or less.   Calculate the fES for elastic shortening losses.

A laboratory technician performing a test on fine aggregates in accordance with ASTM C128 weighed the pycnometer filled with water reading 1201.8 g on the scale. He then took 502.3 g sample in saturated surface dry condition and poured into the pycnometer partially filled with water then filled it up to the calibrated mark. The weight of the pycnometer containing water and sample is 1516.1 g. After which he poured the content of the pycnometer in a drying pan and dried the sample in the oven.
