Question: Using the same materials listed above in Problem 1 2 ( along with chemical and mineral admixtures ) , design a high strength concrete mixture

Using the same materials listed above in Problem 12(along with chemical and mineral admixtures), design a high strength concrete mixture that will be used in a column. The concrete has a specified compressive strength of 14 ksi at 28 days. The concrete will not be air entrained. Your design should be in lb/yd3. I purposely have not provided the ACI document on developing high strength concrete. Use your knowledge on cement content, water content, supplementary cementitious materials (mineral admixtures), and water content to develop the mixture.
