In the current design code, concrete mix proportions are not based on durability parameters that can quantitatively design the requirement of service life for chloride-exposed structures. Multifactor calculation models of durability index are developed, and the replacement of mineral admixtures in concrete...

3.7 Mix Design for Pervious Concrete Figure 11 shows the relationships among porosity, strength and permeability for pervious concrete, developed using the Eqs. (3 to 5), as a function of the aggregate type. For a given porosity, Fig. 11 could be used to estimate the strength and permeabilit...
Current design methods for structural lightweight aggregate concrete (SLWAC) are usually only valid for a limited range of concrete compositions that have previously been subjected to trial tests. The SLWAC mix design is more complex than that of normal weight concrete as more parameters need to ...
The study aims at comparing two methods of concrete mix design with angular and rounded coarse aggregate; The Department of Environment Method, UK and The American Concrete Institute Method, using different water to cementitious ratio (w/cm). In this research work 53 grades Ordinary Portland ...

3.3. Mix design M 25 grade of conventional concrete (CC) was designed as per IS 10262-2009 [17] and IS 456-2000 [16]. The desired strength of M 25 grade of CC was about 32 MPa after 28 days of curing. Class F fly ash blended mixes were prepared using the designed M 25 grade ...
(QTP) is the primary issue in frost resistant concrete design, which is one of the challenges that the QTP engineering managers should take into account. In this paper, we propose a more realistic method to calculate the number of concrete freeze-thaw cycles (NFTCs) on the QTP. The ...
and additional water is sometimes mistakenly added for various reasons in field practice (e.g., leftover water from washing ready-mix trucks that is unaccounted for in the mixture design). A model built for laboratory concrete is thus likely to underperform when employed for concrete in the fie...
