Question: Design the concrete mix proportion for a structure that will be below ground level in a location where it will not be exposed to severe

Design the concrete mix proportion for a structure that will be below ground level in a location where it will not be exposed to severe weathering or sulfate attack. Structural considerations require it to have an average 28-day compressive strength of 24 MPa with slump of 75 mm The coarse aggregate has a nominal maximum size of 20mm and dry-rodded mass of 1600 kg/m3.20mmOther properties of the ingredients are: Cement: Type I with specific gravity of 3.15Moistur constant Coarse aggregate: Bulk specific gravity =2.68, Absorption =0.5%Moisture constant =0.2% Fine aggregate: Bulk specific gravity =2.64, Absorption =0.7%,Fineness modulus =2.8.and Moisture content =0.1%Find the fcr' using ACI 3/8 The number of spa-cement 45 and the standard deviation S=4MPa
