Say that the cement-like components of a mix design consist of portland cement, fly ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag (ggbfs).
Would the water-to-cement ratio be determined by dividing the water weight by the sum of (portland cement + fly ash + ggbfs)?
Thanks.

Thanks to everyone.
The reason I ask is because I see example details where the longitudinal tensile rebars are hooked at the cantilever end of a beam. (In 318-08, see Figure R12.5.4 which shows hooked tensile steel at the end of a cantilver.) Yet, there seems to be no ambiguity in this...
Hi, Friends:
Say that we have a 6'x6' isolated footing, 24" deep, with a single layer of rebars on the bottom. Is there any code requirement that the rebar at the edges of the footing be developed by hooks?
