5000 PSI CONCRETE
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF MIX DESIGN
Introduction
This concrete investigation was initiated at the request of the Bridge
Design Division to provide basic information for design and construction of
cQst in place post-tensioned bridge members. The concrete proportions were
selected on the basis of strength, durability, and place~ability required for
this type of construction.
MATERIALS
Following are listed the materials used in this investigation and their
sources:
Cement:
Water Reduc
Air
3/4" Stone and Sand
Lebanon Crushed Stone, Inc. West Lebanon, New Hampshire
Type I
Glens Falls Portland Cement Co. Glens Falls, New York
Admixture:

Three batches of each design were mixed in a Lancaster open pan mixer and the
concrete was tested for consistency, air content, relative yield, and compressive
strength. Standard 6xl2 inch cylinders, cast in treated cardboard molds, \vere con
tinuously moist cured and tested in compression at ages of 3, 7, 14, and 28 days.
Results
Consistency:
Air contents of all batches ranged from 5~ to 6 percent as measured by the Chace
Air Indicator. These results correlated closely with the Standard pressure meter
test which was occasionally used for confirmation.
Relative Yield:

concrete des for 5000 psi satisfac with results
exhibiting an average strength of 5733 psi.
Both the slump and air content were within anticipated tolerances.
Conclusions & Recommendations
The mix design used in this investigation is satisfactory for field use provided
rigid control be maintained relative to slump and air content. Due to the higher
strengths involved, it would not be detrimental to durability to lower the air content
to 5%. This would further increase compressive strength.
It should be noted that if variations in materials are anticipated, relative to
cement or aggregate sources and admixture manufacturers, further investigations should
be conducted in the laboratory. Also, if construction practices result in lower
strengths, provisions should be made in the specifications for necessary adjustments.
Although very stiff mixes are commonly used in both pre-stressed and post ten
sioned concrete, complete and thorough vibration in the forms is necessary to insure
proper consolidation.
