PROPORTIONING OF CONCRETE:
@.

Coral Aggregate Concrete:

Shall be proportioned

to yield the strengths for the various types to the satis-

faction of the Engineer.

Prior to placing any concrete in

the structures, a sufficient number of trial design batches
shall be prepared and tested to determine the mix to be
used for each type of concrete.
b.
Limonite Aggregate Concrete:
Limonite aggregate
concrete shall be proportioned to yield a minimum strength

of 3500 p.s.i. at 28 days.

3. Aggregate:
The maximum amount of the maximum size of coarse aggregate economically available and
placeable, as compatible with the type and character of the
structure, shall be used. The exact ratio of the aggregate
shall be determined and modified as required by the Engineer,
Ingredients shall be measured separately for each
