 Fresh Concrete quality (Slump)
 Mass concrete & Light reinforced beam: 25-75 mm
 Pumped concrete: 100 to 150 mm
 Hardened Concrete: 28 days strength (fck) exhibited by > 95% cubes
 Considering standard distribution as per IS Code: fck=fm -1.65 σ
until 30 samples are tested and the actual value of s is calculated;
for M20-25, σ = 4; and for M25-M30, σ = 5
 w/c ratio and min cement from Table 4, 5, 6
 95%
