following condition and constraints using
the absolute volume method knowing
that the fine agg./coarse aggregate by
weight in dry condition = 1:3
Design requirements:
Bridge exposed to freezing and thawing,
Average strength = 27.6 Mpa, Minimum
dimension =30 cm, Minimum space between
Rebars = 50 mm, Mini. Cover over rebars =
40 mm. Recommended Slump = 75 mm.

For durability requirements:
Type V cement is selected, Air entraining
material is used in a dose that produces a 7
% target air content. Min. cement content C
334 kg/m3 and Max. W/C = 0.45 are
prescribed for exposure requirements.
