Question

A concrete mix includes the following ingredients per cubic meter:
a. Cement = 400 kg
b. Water = 176 kg
c. No admixture

Table P6.30 shows possible changes that can be made to the mix ingredi-
ents. Indicate in the appropriate boxes in the table what will happen in each

case for the workability and the ultimate compressive strength as increase,
decrease, or approximately the same.
