Principle
In this method of mix design, the water content of air
entrained concrete and the proportions of fine and
coarse aggregates are determined for a fixed
workability and grade of fine aggregates.
Procedure of mix proportion
Table 1 recommends maximum slump for various
types of concrete construction works for which an
appropriate selection may be made.
Table 1 : Recommended maximum slump
Water Cement Ratio
The water cement ratio for the target mean 28
days compressive strength is determined from
table 2 for either air entrained concrete with water
reducing, set-controlling admixtures.
The water cement ratio then be checked against
the maximum permissible value for the type of
exposure and construction work specified in
table-3.
lower of two values be adopted.

strength of concrete for various w/c ratio
Table 3 : Net water cement ratio for concrete
Approximate air and water contents and the
percentages of sand coarse aggregate per cubic meter
concrete are determined from the table 4, for concrete
containing natural sand fineness of modulus 2.75 and
having workability of 75 to 100m.
