Minimum dimension = 12 in.

Minimum space between rebars = 2.5 in.

Minimum cover over rebars = 2.5 in. Statistical data indicate a standard deviation of compressive strength of 250 psi is expected (more than 30 samples).

Only air entrained is allowed. Available Materials Air entrainer: Manufacture specification is 0.15 fl oz/1% air/100 lb cement.

Aggregate: 1 in. nominal maximum size, crushed stone

Bulk oven-dry specific gravity=2.45,absorption=2.5%

Oven-dry rodded density=125pcf

Moisture content=1.5%

Fine aggregate: Natural sand

Bulk oven-dry specific gravity=2.61,absorption=3.4%

Moisture content=3.8%

Fineness modulus=2.81

6: Calculate the desired water content (lb/yd^3)

7: Calculate the Cement Content (lb/yd^3)

What will you propose for a concrete mix design to be used in constructing a bridge pier during a cold winter month. The bridge is designed to be constructed on a site where sulfate attack on the concrete is a problem. In this project, high cost is not allowed and the concrete’s cost must be priority without lowering quality.
