Concrete is required for an interior concrete column in a commercial building in Corvallis, Oregon. A specified compressive strength, f’c , of 4000 psi is required at 28 days using an ASTM C 150 Type I. The design calls for a minimum of 3 in. of concrete cover over the reinforcing steel. The minimum distance between reinforcing bars is 2.5 in. A slump of 4 inches should be the target. No statistical data on previous mixes are available. Follow mixture...
