Question: Develop a concrete mixture proportion that has a 2 8 day compressive strength of 4 0 0 0 psi, and a slump of 4 inches.

Develop a concrete mixture proportion that has a 28 day compressive strength of 4000 psi, and a
slump of 4 inches. The concrete will be used for an indoor, elevated concrete slab. The materials
used in the mixtures and their properties are shown below in Table 1. Do not correct for aggregate
moisture. The mixture proportion should be in lbs/yd^3.
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/ft^3
Moisture content =1%
Fine Aggregate
F.M.=2.99
Specific gravity =2.63
Absorption capacity =0.86%
Moisture content =4%
