What is the procedure of design mix?

karthiga

• Oct 9th, 2011

In design mix, we should conduct all the tests of materials like specific gravity,bulk density, silt content,etc.,and then have to prepare cubes of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm. compressive strength will be calculated for 7 days & 28 days. from this we can know the strength.
