Question: 2 . Develop a concrete mixture proportion that has a 2 8 day compressive strength of 1 0 , 0 0 0 psi. The concrete

2. Develop a concrete mixture proportion that has a 28 day compressive strength of 10,000 psi. The concrete will be used in an interior column. Use the materials shown in Table 1 for your concrete mixture. Assume you do not have access to any supplementary cementitious materials. You do have access to high range water reducers. Use the ACI 211.4R-08 document to develop the mixture. Do not correct for aggregate moisture. The mixture proportion should be in lbs/yd3.
Table 1. Material Properties.
Cement
Type I
Specific gravity =3.15
Coarse Aggregate
MSA =1.0 in,
NMSA =0.75
Specific gravity =2.68
Absorption capacity =0.71%
D.R.U.W.=100 lb/ft3
Moisture content =1%
Fine Aggregate
F.M.=2.99
Specific gravity =2.63
Absorption capacity =0.86%
Moisture content =4%
