    The document discusses concrete mix proportioning. It states that mix proportions should ensure workability of fresh concrete and required strength, durability, and surface finish when hardened. The proportions of cement, aggregates, and water can be determined either by designing the concrete mix, called a "Design mix concrete", or adopting a nominal concrete mix called a "Nominal mix concrete". A Design mix concrete is preferred but a Nominal mix concrete may be used for grades M20 or lower with permission.

    9 CONCRETE MIX PROPORTIONING

    9.1 Mix Proportion

    The mix proportions shall be selected to ensure the workabilityof the freshconcreteandwhenconcreteis

    9.1.1 Thedeterminationof theproportionsofcement, aggregates and water to attain the required


    strengths shall he made as follows: a) By designing the concrete mix; such concrete shall becalled
    'Design mix concrete', or b) By adopting nominal concrete mix: such
