Design a concrete mix for the superstructure of a building using DoE mix design method requiring a characteristic strength of 40MPa at 28days and a slump of 30-60mm. The materials available are ordinary Portland cement, and uncrushed fine and coarse aggregates of specific gravity of 2.65. The maximum nominal size of coarse aggregate is 10mm and fine aggregate confirms to the grading zone III. Neglect the effect of standard deviation and other factors.
