Note:
1: The mix proporation are for aggregate at SSD conditions. Necessary Corrections in the quantity of aggregate and water are to be made for
the moisture in material at site as per the IS code
2: This mis design is applicable for only for aggregate and cement supplied for mix design. Necessary corrections are to be effected for
change in properties of the aggregates.
3. Gradation of aggregate need special care at site.
