"Mixture proportioning" is a description of the proportions of a
concrete mixture that were selected to enable it to meet the
performance durability requirements, constructability
requirements, and the initial and life-cycle cost goals.
f.
"Mixture proportions" is the concrete supplier's by-mass
proportions to replicate the mixture design.
g.
"Pozzolan" is a silicious or silicious and aluminous material,
which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value but
will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture,
chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures
to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.
h.
"Field test strength" (fcr) is the required compressive strength
of concrete to meet structural and durability criteria. Determine
(fcr) during mixture proportioning process.

SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item in the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the item
should be required.
A "G" following a submittal item indicates that the
submittal requires Government approval. Some
submittals are already marked with a "G". Only
delete an existing "G" if the submittal item is not
complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor's
Quality Control system. Only add a "G" if the
submittal is sufficiently important or complex in
context of the project.
For submittals requiring Government approval on Army
projects, a code of up to three characters within
the submittal tags may be used following the "G"
designation to indicate the approving authority.
Codes for Army projects using the Resident
Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for
Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office
(Engineering Division or other organization in the
District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for
Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes
following the "G" typically are not used for Navy
projects.
Submittal items not designated with a "G" are
considered as being for information only for Army
projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval
for Navy projects.
**************************************************************************
Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;
submittals not having a "G" designation are [for Contractor Quality Control
approval.][for information only. When used, a designation following the
