Question: Using the Cement & Concrete Institute method, design a 2 0 - litre trial mix of concrete based on the data below and summarise quantities

Using the Cement & Concrete Institute method, design a 20-litre trial mix of concrete based on the data below and summarise quantities obtained. Use South African units
Cement type = CEM I 42.5 N (Relative density of 3.14)
Sand quality (natural)= Average (Relative density =2.50; FM=2.33)
Crushed aggregate size =13.2 mm (Relative density =2.65)
Dry compacted bulk density of stone =1600 kg/m3
Characteristic strength at 28 days =30 MPa
Required slump =75 mm
Defective level =1.5%
Standard deviation =4.45 MPa
Water: Cement ratio =0.52
K value for determining stone content =0.90
