Design the concrete mix according to the following conditions:
Design Environment
Pavement slab, subjected to freezing
Required design strength = 21 MPa
Slab thickness = 300 mm
Statistical data indicate a standard deviation of compressive strength of
1.7 MPa is expected (more than 30 samples).
Only air entrainer is allowed.
Available Materials
Air entrainer: Manufacture specification is 9.5 mL/1% air/100 kg
cement.
Coarse aggregate: 2 in. nominal maximum size, crushed stone
Bulk oven-dry specific gravity = 2.573, absorption = 2.8,
Oven-dry rodded density = 1922 kg/m3
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
