Will the quantity of coarse aggregate increase decrease

Reference no: EM13542307

A concrete mix with a 3-inch slump, w/c ratio of .50, and sand with a finesse modulus of 2.4 contains 1700 lb/yd^3 of coarse aggregate per cubic yard. To adjust the mix so as to increase the compressive strenght, the water to cement ratio is reduced to .45. Will the quantity of coarse aggregate increase, decrease, or stay the same ? explain your answer
