Concrete Mix Design as Per IS Method of Mix Design

Purvansh B. Shah

Abstract: Concrete mix design may be defines as the art of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative proportions with the object of producing concrete of certain minimum strength & durability as economically as possible. Considering objectives of mix design desired workability in the plastic stage, desired minimum strength in the hardened stage, desired durability in the given environment conditions & basic considerations like cost, specification, workability is to be studied while designing mix design. Grade of concrete & its Characteristics compressive strength of 150 mm cube at 28 days, N/mm2 is very important criteria to be considered. Factors affecting choice of mix design is being studied for better mix design.

Keywords: Grade of Concrete, Cost, Specification, Workability, Compressive Strengh, W/C Ratio, Target average compressive strength, IS Method of Mix Design
