Concrete Mix Design

Concrete mix design is best defined as a process of selecting suitable ingredients, i.e., cement, water, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate with admixtures if any, and determining their relative proportions to give the required strength, workability, and durability. The process is appropriately referred to as concrete mix proportioning, in some textbooks, to avoid confusion with the normal structural concrete design. Workability is specified as an important property of concrete in the fresh state. In a hardened state, compressive strength and durability are of great significance.
