Abstract

The increasing use of drier concretes and mechanical compaction has necessitated the production of mixes having optimum workability; this has led during the past decade to new conceptions in methods of mix design. The most recent American and British proposals are discussed at some length, and Smith's Theory of Proportioning for Constant Workability is extended to include a rapid means of batch proportioning and control. Comparative examples of mix design are given at the end of the paper.
