Steps to Follow
PROJECT NAME: MIX DESIGN DATE: 1. Enter in Aggregate information and gradation information in Columns D through Q and Lines 13 through 36
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: LETTING DATE: 2. Enter in the Combined Grading Specification in Columns AJ through AO. 12 is for 1/2" Maximum rock, 34 3/4" m
CITY: MIX DESIGN STATUS: 3. Enter in Column T, Line 17 the Aggregate Size gradation specification you want to follow, either 12, 34, or 1
COUNTY: MIX DESCRIPTION: 4. In Columns D through J, and Lines 40-46 enter in up to 7 different combinations of aggregates you would like to
STATE: PLANT TYPE: 5. In Column G, Line 37 Enter the Aggregate combination (1 through 7) that you would like to see plotted.
OWNER: MATERIAL USE: 6. Once you decided on the final combination, Put that number in according to Step #5, and move to Mix Design Ta
