This guide to concrete proportioning provides background infor-mation on, and a procedure for, selecting and adjusting concrete mixture proportions. It applies to normal-density concrete, both with and without chemical admixtures, supplementary cementitious

This recorded webinar from September 15, 2015 covers designing concrete mixtures, or more properly phrased – proportioning concrete mixtures, which seems like a straightforward process.

The design of a concrete mixture suitable for paving includes the desired outcomes of production, construction, service life, economy, and sustainability. Material selection and mixture proportioning are the means of obtaining the goals of the …

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational programs, certification programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a ...

According to these sections, concrete mixture proportions and characteristics must be submitted along with test records used to establish the required average strength. Furthermore, Section 4.1.2.3 lists submittals required for concrete materials, including cementitious materials, aggregates, admixtures, and water (and/or ice).

The use of properly designed, durable, and sustainable concrete is an economical approach to the design of marine structures. Except for some criteria in ACI 357R and special-ized criteria in other ACI guides on durability, there are no comprehensive guidelines or standards that cover the appli-cation of concrete in the marine environment for ...

Aggregate properties significantly affect the workability of plastic concrete and also the durability, strength, thermal properties, and density of hardened concrete.
