The question is as follows:- Q) Design the concrete mixture for the slab 2. A reinforced slab concrete foundation is to be poured for a building. The building is to be constructed near Edmonton. The slab will be in direct contact with the soil, and the soil typically has a sulphate content of 0.3 percent by mass. The minimum rebar spacing in the slab is 100 mm. The contractor is certain that his workers can place a concrete with a...

Hi, can you help me do this problem, i know its a little bit long but i really need to know how to answer it and know the answer thank you Problem 2 Concrete Mix Design. (30 points) You are planning to place concrete for a roof slab in a 3 story light commercial building located in Boston, MA (cold climate). Develop the mix proportion for this concrete. Explain your selections. Design Criteria: 290 Design strength-3.700 psi Statistical data based...
Q1// Use the ACI method to design a concrete mix which is required to obtain f'c28= 34.5MPa and a slump of 75mm. the fineness modulus of the aggregate is 3.0, the bulk density of coarse aggregate is 1600 kg/m' and the maximum size is 25. Both the specific gravity of fine and coarse aggregate are 2.68. neglect the absorption and total moisture content.
