Abstract:

Note: A newer version of this document exists. This document was replaced by 211.5R-01.

Information required for the preparation and review of a concrete mixture submittal is contained in reference documents such as codes and standards, project drawings and specifications and other contract documents. These requirements depend on the intended use of the concrete, the available information, and the size of the project. This guide is intended to assist both the submitter and reviewer by providing a description of necessary information, and sample formats to insure that the appropriate information is provided. Use of the guide may be limited when contract documents define the submittal format. The guide emphasizes that the concrete mixture is a unique combination of specific ingredients, from particular sources, and in quantities necessary to achieve the intended purpose, as a part of the guide.
