Admixture for Concrete

Please carry out a concrete mix design for an air-entrained concrete production based on the following data below;

Characteristic strength: 69  N/mm2 28-day design strength concrete

Defective rate (k): 5%

PC strength class: 42,5

Aggregate type:      

Coarse: Crushed

Fine    : Uncrushed

Slump : S3 workability class under EN 206 (find out the range)

Maximum aggregate size : 28 mm (2-digit)

Maximum free w/c ratio: 0.48

Minimum cement content: 385 kg/m3

Relative density of aggregate : 2.69 (2 decimal places)

Grading of fine aggregate passing 600 µm : 70%

Standard deviation: 4 N/mm2

Air content: 4%
