Concrete Mix Design Method
Concrete Mix Design Method
(OP)
For projects where ACI 318 is used, what's the most common method of concrete mix designs these days for typical concrete mixtures....statistical analysis based on field test results or trial mixtures?

In your opinion when a mix design (statistical) review is conducted should the reviewer request the ready mix company also submit copies of actual compresive strength test reports in order to verify authenticity of data used?

I guess if I got a mix design and it didn't have the compressive test data I might call up for that - but our specs usually require it so it generally comes our way.

I require submittal of backup data when a large concrete project is contemplated or if it has some specialty application. In the submittal, I ask for compressive strength data, moving average statistical data, durability data, and aggregate source/reactivity data.
