Using the ACI absolute volume mix design method, design a suitable concrete mix for use in a sidewalk in Calgary Subjected to freezeThaw and AntiIcing salts The structural requirement for compressive strength is MPa. Compressive strength data is not available. Air Entrainment will be used. Portland cement and Fly Ash will be used.
Cementing Materials Cement Relative Density Fly Ash Relative Density
Coarse Aggregate Angular, Nominal maximum aggregate size mm Relative Density Oven Dry Dryrodded Bulk Density Kgm Moisture Content Absorption
Fine Aggregate Relative Density Oven Dry Fineness Modulus Moisture Content Absorption
Air Entrainment Dose: gramskg of cementing materials
a Exposure Class
b Required average compressive strength to decimal
c Maximum recommended slump
d Water Cement ratio to decimals
e Mass of water to decimal and air content
f Mass of cementing materials to decimal
g Bulk Volume of Coarse aggregate
h Mass of Coarse Aggregate to decimal
i Calculate material volumes to three decimal places and determine mass of Fine Aggregate to decimal
j Adjusted mass of coarse and fine aggregates to decimal
k Adjusted mass of water to decimal
