Concrete Mix Designs

Concrete Mix Designs

Concrete Mix Designs

(OP)
Are there any good publications about what constitutes a good concrete mix design? I'm getting into jobs which I am starting to review mix designs and I thought I'd ask the boards here for any good literature.

Mostly for building construction, footings, SOG, elevated slabs, walls, columns, piers, beams, etc.

Thanks guys!

High compressive strength with minimum cement.

RE: Concrete Mix Designs

The Portland Cement Association has a publication titled "Design and Control of Concrete Mixes".  It is a very good overall picture of mix designs and how to get from point A to point B.  It is probably into its 15th edition or so by now.
