- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of proportioning concrete mixtures to concrete construction in the U.S. Such procedure is vital because it will determine the strength, durability and success of a particular construction project. The industry used various methods in proportioning concrete mixtures depending on the specifications of the project. A study was conducted on the issue and researchers concluded that proportioning concrete mixture can affect the grading of aggregates, consistency of concrete, effect of quantity of cement, curing condition and strength, tension, flexture, wear, yield and absorption of concrete.
