For a construction that is exposed to both XF4 and XS2 environmental conditions. concrete has
been ordered and should be designed. In the aggregate mix. 36% natural sand. and 12% natural crushed
sand. 52% natural crushed stone are to be used. Sieve analysis for aggregates is given in Table 2. CEMI-
52.5R is to be used. According to earlier productions. ready mix plant has a standard deviation value of
5.2. Concrete is going to be cast in an inclined formwork. In your calculations. you should assume an air
void ratio of 2%. After casting trial mix. actual concrete unit weight was measured to be 3.7% lower than
the theoretical values.
a) Find theoretical mixture values using Graf formula.
b) Find the actual mixture values.
c) Find the actual air void ratio.
