For 28 lab flexural strength of 5 N/mm2, trials were made for compressive strength of 50 N/mm2. As
per the data provided by client, maximum slump requirement is 25 mm which is very less as compared to
normal mix. Keeping in view the slump requirement, minimum cement content and very good control
following three trial were done in Lab:TRIAL MIXES
