| Feature | Benefit | |---------|---------| | Eliminates manual calculation errors | Reduces risk in water-cement ratio, aggregate moisture adjustments. | | Built-in ACI tables | Embeds Table 6.3.3 (water vs. slump), Table 6.3.6 (coarse aggregate volume), etc. | | Moisture correction | Properly adjusts batch weights for SSD to actual moisture conditions. | | Air entrainment handling | Includes target air % based on exposure (freeze-thaw, sulfate). | | Unit conversion | Converts between lb/yd³ and kg/m³, plus volume (ft³ to m³). | | Trial batch scaling | Allows small (e.g., 0.5–2 ft³) batch adjustments before plant production. |
