Hello,
The aim is to evaluate the effect of silt% in cement mortar mixtures. I'm wondering which approach would be more appropriate. The mixture design or other available methods such as factorial, RSM, etc.
Thank you
My suggestion is to go with Mixture designs as they are specific to those situations when the factors are constrained to satisfy proportion restrictions as in a mixture.
I will advice you stick with mixture design. Factorial design also known as screening design is used to screen out factors that might not be significant in your experimental data. The signicant factors are then optimize using RSM to know the optimal condition that's brings about desired goals. However, a mixture design is used in an experiment in which the totality of the components is one. I.e. When component are in proportion or when the factors or components are added up to make 100%. An example is a production of chemicals or drug in which two or more components are added together for the production of the substance or drugs, which is also in line with ur experiment where two or more components make up the cement mortar mixture.
