Q. Using the British methods, design a concrete mix to bear an average compressive strength of 35 MPa at 28 days, to cast a room slab with the following dimensions (5 width x 4 length x 0.2 depth m) and 200 mm space distance of reinforcement. Consider the following properties: o Cement used is type I Portland cement ® Required slump = 30 — 60 mm o Coarse aggregate: ® Crushed rocks * Maximum size of 40 mm, e The fine aggregate: * Crushed rocks = Falls in zone 3 o Assume zone A for figure 1 o AssumeK = 1.64

As a materials engineer in charge of designing concrete mix and facing the followingproblems, which admixture would you use in each case during mixing or at thejobsite?a. There is a large quantity of freshly mixed concrete and the work at the job-sitehad to stop because of rain.b. More time is expected to be needed for finishing concrete.c. The structure is subjected to freezingd. Concrete is to be around tightly spaced reinforcing steel.e. Concrete mix will be hauled a long distance.f. High early strength concrete is required, but not necessarily high ultimatestrength.
