A-1 Design Stipulations For Proportioning

The document provides an example of concrete mix proportioning for an M40 pumpable concrete. It lists the design specifications, including a maximum nominal aggregate size of 20mm, minimum cement content of 320kg/m3, and maximum water-cement ratio of 0.45. Test data is also given for the materials to be used, such as the cement grade and specific gravity, admixture type, and aggregate properties including sieve analysis results. The target strength for mix proportioning is defined based on the characteristic compressive strength plus a standard deviation.

The workability of concrete for satisfactory placing and compaction is related to the size
and shape of section, quantity and spacing of reinforcement and technique used for
transportation, placing and compaction.
