Please carry out a concrete mix design for a ternary blend concrete production based on the following data below; Characteristic strength: 43 N/mm² 28-day design strength concrete Defective rate (k): 5% PC strength class: 42,5 Aggregate type: Coarse: Crushed Fine Uncrushed Slump S3 workability class Maximum aggregate size : 27 mm Maximum free W/C ratio: 0.48 Minimum cement (total binder) content: 355 kg/m³ Previous control data gave a standard deviation of 4 N/mm² Relative density of aggregate: 2.63 (2 decimal places) Grading of fine aggregate passing 600 ?m : 60% Please carry out a PC- FA-GGBS added concrete mix design with 40%PC-%30GGBS-30%FA based on the data provided. Required volume: 13 * 100 mm diameter and 200 mm height cylinder, 17*100 mm cube samples.
