Show hintHide hint
Consider how the mix is applied on-site.
Question 5.
Consider a scenario where you have to design a concrete mix for a pavement requiring a flexural strength of 5 MPa. Describe the steps you would take using the IRC:44 Method.
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula for target strength as your starting point.
Question 6.
