    The document describes two trial concrete mixes tested for workability and compressive strength. Trial Mix 2 for each set of mixes performed better, having higher slump and compressive strength. For the first set of mixes, Trial Mix 2 with 230 kg/m3 cement, 715 kg/m3 fine aggregate, 1075 kg/m3 coarse aggregate and 143 kg/m3 water is recommended. For the second set, Trial Mix 2 with 350 kg/m3 cement, 610 kg/m3 fine aggregate, 1120 kg/m3 coarse aggregate, 194 kg/m3 water is recommended. Similarly, for the third set Trial Mix 2 with 460 kg/m3 cement, 635 kg/m3

    A total of three cylinders were cast for each trial mix, which were tested at the age of 07 and
    28 days the average compressive strength test results along with the slump test results of each
    trial mix are presented in Table 3.2

    4. RECOMMENDED MIX PROPORTIONS:

    Table 3.2 indicates that for the given specifications and design input data, Trial Mix-2 is most
    satisfactory from the workability and strength point of view. Hence, the proportions of Trial
    Mix-2 are recommended. The recommended mix proportions are as follows

    Cement Content : 230 kg/m3


    Fine Aggregate Content : 715 kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate Content : 1075 kg/m3
    Water Content : 143 kg/m3
    Water/Cement Ratio : 0.62
    Mix Proportion by Weight : 1 : 3.11 : 4.67

     Calculation of Volumetric Batching:

    Cement Content : 230/1246 = 0.184m3


    Fine Aggregate Content : 715 1793 = 0.399 m3
    Coarse Aggregate Content : 1075/1418 = 0.758 m3
    Water Content : 143/1000 = 0.143 m3 (143 liters)
    Mix Proportion by Volume : 1:2.17:4.12
