Q. Using the British methods, design a concrete mix to bear an average compressive strength of 35 MPa at 28 days, to cast a room slab with the following dimensions (5 width x 4 length x 0.2 depth m) and 200 mm space distance of reinforcement. Consider the following properties: o Cement used is type I Portland cement ® Required slump = 30 — 60 mm o Coarse aggregate: ® Crushed rocks * Maximum size of 40 mm, e The fine aggregate: * Crushed rocks = Falls in zone 3 o Assume zone A for figure 1 o AssumeK = 1.64
