|4- CONCLUSION.
in reference to the above obtained test results encompassing with the project specification requirements
[stipulated under item 033000 section 2.15 -j
test mixes for structural grade concrete requires that the test mixes is acceptable provided that the following
minimum requirments are meet
'- the mix proportions, temperature and workability are in accorance with the project specification,
[2 the standard deviation for structural grade is 3.5 Mpa or less,
- the mean strength for structral grade concrete exceeds the specified design strength by 6 Mpa
FOLLOWING CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN
['- The slump results are consistent among the different trial mixes
[2 The average strength of 18 cylinder tested at 7 days is 48.2 Mpa
[2 based from the obtained 7 days compressive test results, the concrete potential strength projected at
[28 days is more than marginal limit of the target strenath requirements
[+ the standard deviation for this grade at 7 days was calculated to be 5.83 Mpa more than the required
‘maximum standard deviation at 28 days.
‘5: the mix was designed to satisty with the project technical specification requirements and the contractors
need, the was found workable, pumpable, placeable and, homogenous and Within the temperature limits
6- evaluation compressive strength will be done at 28 days to confirm and validate ifthe strength
|ill achieve the project specification requirements stipulated under item 033000 section 2.16 -|
