Concrete Mix - (ACI method for concrete mix design) - Design a mix using the information given in Assignment #5 and Assignment #6, for a 28-day compressive strength assigned in lab.
Concrete Beam #1 - Each group will construct a rectangular reinforced concrete beam with #3 rebars positioned at a specified depth.
Concrete Beams #2 - #4 and Final Project Beams - Each group will develop their own strategy towards achieving a concrete mix design and a reinforced concrete beam design that will have the highest SWR in the class.
