Design Mix Example

The document describes the process for designing a concrete mix to achieve a target compressive strength of 30N/mm2 using the British method. It involves 5 stages: [1] determining the water-cement ratio to achieve strength, [2] determining water content for workability, [3] combining stages 1 and 2 to determine cement content, [4] determining total aggregate content, and [5] selecting fine and coarse aggregate contents. Tables 3.1-3.3 show the mix design requirements, calculations of concrete volume needed, and the final designed mix proportions.

DESCRIPTION OF CONCRETE MIXES DESIGN

The British method has applied to design the concrete. General process for designing concrete mix for target compressive strength competition, 30N/mm2 is summarizes as follo s!
