information required for the mix design 1) Mix design is a process of finding the proportion of different constituents of concrete

which is economical, satisfies the specification & produces a concrete of desired fresh & hardened properties. 2) Main fresh concrete is workability which is decided by the factors like section dimensions like shallow or deep, mass concrete , amount of reinforcement & method of placing. Workability depends on water content , cement paste , shape & texture of agg , max size , agg cement ratio , fine to coarse agg ratio , fineness of cement , admixture %. 3) Hardened concrete properties are strength & durability which depends on cement content, w/c ratio, grading of agg etc. 4) In addition , information like a) Type of cement & admixtures b) Grade of concrete c) Range of cement content, w/c ratio & max size. d) Specific gravity of all constituents e) Grading of aggregates.
