Requirements of concrete mix design

Requirements of concrete mix design

The requirements which form the basis of selection and proportioning of mix ingredients are:

a) The minimum compressive strength required from structural consideration.

b) The adequate workability necessary for full compaction with the compacting equipment available.

c) Maximum water-cement ratio and/or maximum cement content to give adequate durability for the particular site conditions.

d) Maximum cement content to avoid shrinkage cracking due to temperature cycle in mass concrete.
