Summary:Designing concrete compositions, containing entrained air, is usually done by means of empirical proportioning, which is quite a laborious and lengthy process. In the article design formulae are experimentally justified with rule of modified C/W, which is complex due to known empirical dependencies, and allow us to find the content of concrete components with desired strength, frost resistance, and density properties. Conducted experimental studies are: compression method for determining the volume of entrained air as well as standard methods for determining the strength and frost resistance of concrete. Lastly, generated formula was verified on an example for calculating the compositions of heavy concrete with a given strength and frost resistance and structural claydite-concrete with desired strength and density.
