Question: A consultant required a mix design with a mean 2 8 - day compressive strength of 3 5 MPa ( measured on standard cylinder )

A consultant required a mix design with a mean 28-day compressive strength of 35 MPa (measured on standard cylinder). A slump required is 50 mm and OPC is the cement used. 20 mm angular aggregate and its density is 1600kgm3. The aggregate specific gravity is 2.60. For fine aggregate, it has a fineness modulus of 2.60 and specific gravity of 2.58. No air entrainment is required. Please provide the mix design according to the ACI method. The procedure for the calculation should be complete with explanation and graph or figure referred. Make an assumption if necessary for the material that is not specified.
