Q. What is the difference between corrected and uncorrected weight in a concrete mix design? A. The uncorrected weight represents the initial calculated material weights from the mix design, without any adjustments. The corrected weight includes adjustments for moisture content in the aggregates and other factors that impact batching. These corrections ensure the proper water-cement ratio and that the concrete meets the desired workability, strength, and durability. ACI 304 offers guidelines on batching and the necessary corrections to achieve consistency and quality during concrete production.
