For a severe freeze-thaw exposure, Table 9-5 recommends a target air content of 6.0% for a 25-mm aggregate. Therefore, design the mix for 5% to 8% air and use 8% (or the maximum allowable) for batch proportions. The trial-batch air content must be within ±0.5 percentage points of the maximum allowable air content.
