JOB MIX DESIGN SUBMITTAL CHECK LIST

Scope
1. Submit concrete mix designs for each type and strength of concrete required at
least thirty 30 days before placing concrete. New mix designs shall be verified by an
approved independent testing laboratory and shall be coordinated with design
requirements and Contract Documents.

Cement

2. Recent independent test results confirming compliance with the specified

requirements/ inspection test plan (ITP). Manufacturer's certificates shall also be
supplied for each batch of production of cement or on monthly basis, whichever is more
frequent.

Aggregates
3. Recent independent test results confirming compliance with the specified
requirements and referenced standards along with full details of the proposed sources
of aggregates.

Water

4. Recent independent test results confirming compliance with the specified

requirements and referenced standards.

Admixtures

5. Manufacturer’s technical specifications and recommendations. Tests on specific

gravity and solids content should be conducted at the Independent site laboratory.

Submittal

6. Submit complete mix design data for each separate mix to be used on the
Project in a single submittal with at least the following information:-

a. Type of cement.

b. Portland cement content.

c. Details of calculated water/ cementitious material (w/c) ratio.

d. Maximum aggregate size.

e. Combined grading curve for coarse aggregate.

f. Quantities of all individual materials.

 g. Type of admixture(s).

h. Target slump (at discharge).

i. Initial and final concrete setting time for each mix design as per ASTM C403.

j. Fresh density of concrete.

k. Air content.

l. Target temperature.

m. Bleeding, if specified.

n. Chloride and sulphate (SO3) contents.

o. Compressive strength grade.

p. Hardened density.

q. Water absorption (%).

7. Data should be from the same production facility that will be used for the Project.

8. Mix Design data shall include but not be limited to the following:-

a. Locations on the Project where each mix design is to be used corresponding

to Structural General Notes on the Drawings.

b. Concrete constituent materials should be proportioned to yield 1 m3.

c. Submit strength test records, mix design materials, conditions, and proportions
for concrete used for record of tests and determination of required average
compressive strength.

d. Test records to support proposed mixtures shall be no more than 12 months

old and use current cement and aggregate sources.

f. Manufacturer's product data for each type of admixture. Manufacturer’s

certifications that all admixtures used are compatible with each other.

h. All information indicating compliance with Contract Documents including

method of placement and method of curing.
