Mix Design Tables

The document contains 4 tables that provide specifications and guidelines for concrete mixes. Table I lists recommended slump ranges for different types of concrete construction. Table II shows recommended mixing water quantities and air contents for different slump values and aggregate sizes. Table III relates water-cement ratios to expected 28-day compressive strengths. Table IV provides coarse aggregate volumes per unit of concrete for different fine aggregate properties and maximum aggregate sizes.

Notes:

1. These values can be increased by up to about 10 percent for


pavement applications.
2. Coarse aggregate volumes are based on oven-dry-rodded weights
obtained in accordance with ASTM C 29.
