o Univariate analysis:
o Influence of w/c (0.40 – 0.50)
o Influence of total cement content (600 -800 lb/yd3)
o Influence of total alkali loading in concrete (2.9 – 10lb/yd3)
o Influence of dosage of SCM (15% - 35% Class F fly ash)
o Influence of vol. fraction of CA content in concrete (0.65 –
0.75)
