Adjustment of water content: From durability consideration, maximum water/cement ratio of a concrete is set to 0.40 and minimum cement content is 450 kg/m³. Specified minimum slump value is 150 mm. In a trial mix of concrete, slump value was found to be 25 mm. requirement, increase or decrease the re-estimated water content by 2 kg/m3 for each increase or decrease of 10 mm slump. What will be the modified mixing water and cement content to achieve this slump value without changing the aggregate properties? ACI suggests that if the slump of the trial mix does not satisfy the
