You are expected to produce a concrete batch quantity to the following
specifications for a trial mix size of 0.02 m3, using the DoE method of concrete
mix design (the relevant charts are provided).
• Specified compressive strength 35 N/mm2 at 28 days
• Use Rapid Hardening Portand Cement with a minimum content of 350 kg/ m3
• Defectives permitted: 5%, standard deviation 5N/ mm2
• Uncrushed aggregate of size 40mm maximum
• Aggregate relative density known as 2.7
• Slump 10-30mm
• 75% passing 600 ?m.
