Answer:

given data ;

required design strength = 3000 psi

slab thickness = 12 inches

air entrained : specification 0.15 fl oz/1% air / 100 lb cement

coarse aggregate :

bulk oven dry specific gravity =2.573

absorption = 2.8%

oven dry density = 120 psf

moisture content = 1%

fine aggregate - Natural sand :

bulk oven dry specific gravity = 2.540

absorption = 3.4%

moisture content = 4,.5%

fineness modulus = 2.68

A concrete mix was designed for a concrete road pavement (i.e. heavy mass concrete). A 28-day strength of 26 MPa is required. The exposure classification for durability purposes is C. One hundred laboratory test results on the controlling mix show a standard deviation of 5.3 MPa (k=1.65). The density of crushed coarse aggregate is 2850 kg/m3 and its dry rodded density is 1600 kg/m3 and the maximum size to be used is 10 mm. The specific gravity of fine aggregate...
