7.4. You are task with designing a concrete mix for a ploject with the following conditions and constraints:
Bridge caissons (exposed to salt water and server sulfate exposure)
Design strength fc=3,500
Standard deviation of fc obtained from 32 samples=350psi
Thickness=12"
Cover over and between rebar is 2.5"
Use air-entrained concrete with admixture of 6.3floz1% air/1001b cement.
Fine Agg. Data
Fineness modulus of fine aggregate =2.60
Natural Sand
Specific Gravity: 2.572
Absorption =0.8%
Moisture Content =4%
Coarse Agg Data
Bulk oven-dry specific gravity of coarse aggregate =2.621
Oven-dry rodded density of coarse aggregate =105 pcf
Absorption: 2.4%
Moisture Content =1.5%
