You are aconstruction engineer workingon a largeconcrete foundation project, involving theplacement ofover 500,000 c.y of concrete. The construction site is adjacent toa salt-water source (bay) & it is decided to set up a concrete batchplant onsite. The project schedule shows that the various concrete pours are to take place from April to September. What considerationswould you makewith regards to cement type, aggregate, waterquality, and admixtures? Explain your considerations in detail.
