Q4 (A) : Concrete Mix Design For Concrete (Grade 30) : Maximum Free-Water/ Cement Ratio Specified

This document provides a concrete mix design for Grade 30 concrete. It lists the materials and their proportions including a cement content of 365 kg/m3, a water content of 190 kg/m3, a fine aggregate content of 609 kg/m3, and coarse aggregate contents of 410 kg for 10mm, 820 kg for 20mm, and none for 40mm aggregate. The mix has a target mean strength of 43 MPa and is designed to achieve a specified characteristic compressive strength of 30 MPa with local materials.
