The Mix Design of Conventional Concrete

Concrete Mix Design

There are many methods of concrete mix design. But the British or American methods will not be applicable for our country, as the specific relationships constituting figures and tables are based on their materials. The IS 10262 recommends procedure for designing concrete mixes for general types of construction using the concreting materials normally available1. The procedure was developed in 1982 based on the experiments carried out at the National Council for Cement and Building Materials (NCBM), New Delhi.

The method is primarily based on the basic assumption that the compressive strength of concrete is governed generally, by the water-cement ratio. The recent development of using chemical and mineral admixtures in concrete has not alterted the applicability of the age-old Abram’s water-cement ratio ‘law’, and the compressive strength of concrete is governed by the water-cementitious materials ratio used in concrete.
The cementitious materials include cement (OPC, PPC and PSC) and mineral admixtures, like, flyash, ggbs and silica fume.  In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight that in the procedure of concrete mix design, the water-cement (or water-cementitious materials) ratio must be selected from an established relationship between this and the 28-day compressive strength of concrete.

Example of Complaining Text

To Mr. Head of Study Program of Civil Engineering Ahmad Yani Tromol street,Surakarta Dear Sir, Through this letter we inform you that many tools for practicum of civil engineering are broken and getting old. However, after we checked the tools in the laboratory, there are some damages of some tools. The damages are: The baukur cannot be read because the number is bluring. The pipe in the fluid mechanic lab is getting older. For the evidence, we will send you back the damage products to be re-check. We hope in the future, we would not receive anymore damaged tools like this. Thank you for your concern. We will wait for you reply. Regards, The Student of Civil Engineering
