demand while providing good workability. Adjust mixture proportions whenever individual aggregate grading varies during the course of the work. Use the gradations shown in TABLE 1116-2, or other gradation approved by the Engineer. Optimization is not required for concrete for patching pavements more than 10 years old, or Commercial Grade Concrete. The Engineer may waive the optimization requirements if the concrete meets all the requirements of DIVISION 400 and/or DIVISION 500. Follow these guidelines:
