Concrete Mix Design Types and Its Advantages
Concrete mix design is process of preparation of concrete with suitable proportion of ingredients to meet the required strength and durability of concrete structure. Every ingredient of concrete consists different properties so, it is not an easy task to get ...
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONCRETE MIX DESIGN
Requirements of concrete mix design should be known before calculations for concrete mix. Mix design is done in the laboratory and samples from each mix designed is tested for confirmation of result. But before the mix design process is started, ...
Factors Affecting Concrete Mix Design Strength
The mixing of concrete constituent materials i.e. cement, water, aggregates and admixtures in specified proportions will produce a concrete of adequate strength. The mix design strength developed for a given type of cement is dependent on the following factors: Water/Cement ...
What are the Factors Affecting the Choice of Concrete Mix Design?
What is concrete mix design? Concrete mix design is defined as the appropriate selection and proportioning of constituents to produce a concrete with pre-defined characteristics in the fresh and hardened states. Moreover, concrete mixes are designed in order to achieve ...
