7.0 CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTION.

1. Considering the Unconfined Compressive Strength at 7 days, the above design is

Satisfactory for the Site works.
2. Cement having the same brand and strength must always be used while adopting the
above mix proportion.
3. Aggregates used in this Mix Design are in Saturated Surface Dry Condition.
