We would like to produce a concrete that is suitable for use in building a large structure

Question:

We would like to produce a concrete that is suitable for use in building a large structure in a sulfate environment. For these situations, the maximum water-cement ratio should be 0.45 (by weight). The compressive strength of the concrete after 28 days should be at least 4000 psi. We have an available coarse aggregate containing 2% moisture in a variety of sizes, and both fine and coarse sand containing 4% moisture. Design a concrete that will be suitable for this application.
