Question: The 2 8 - day target compressive strength should be 2 5 MPa. The slump should be between 7 5 mm and 1 0 0

The 28-day target compressive strength should be 25 MPa. The slump should be between 75
mm and 100 mm and the maximum aggregate size should not exceed 20 mm. It is intended to
add fly-ash Class C with an amount of 15% of the cement content. The specific gravity of
fly-ash Class C is 2.2. To take into consideration the durability issues the max. water/cement
ratio is 0.50, and the minimum cement content should be 320 kg/1m3
concrete.
The properties of the materials are as follows:
Cement : Type I, specific gravity =3.15
Coarse Aggregate: Bulk specific gravity (SSD)=2.65; absorption capacity =0.5%; dryrodded unit weight =1605 kg/m3; total moisture content =1.5%
Fine Aggregate: Bulk specific gravity (SSD)=2.60; absorption capacity =2.5%; fineness
modulus =2.70; total moisture content =1.3%.
Using Absolute Volumes Method and then Weights Method, calculate the concrete
mix proportions?
