kuki says:

what do we understand by workability of M15 grade of concrete ????

sattar says:

mix design of 1:3:6

sattar says:

m-10 mix design

n.pavan kumar says:

Dear sir i want the mixed propotions of all the ratios in that means like, cement:fine aggregate: course aggregate

Shaikh Gufran Vaqar says:

How did u obtain the mass ofor fine & coarse Agg. In table A9 Sr. No. 3 & 4.

Kishore Ch. Panigrahi says:

It is a nice derivation.

Anbarasan R says:

for m15,m20,m25 concrte why not i use 33 grade opc .
if i use 33 opc the mix ratio became same as use of 43 grade opc
then what the different between the both?

Kamaluddin Khalfan says:

I request to guide me for my project M 15 MSA 80 with PPC 53 grade concrete mix design

Karthick says:

Dz is very useful and awesme

Parveen singh rawat says:

How u found out Volume of Course agg . And fine agg.

magie says:

Sir plz can tell mi how you reduced water from 186 ltr to 135 ltr from slum 25mm

niraj sah says:

design mix for wet 1 cum m20
