Mix Design

This document provides a form and instructions for designing an unrestricted concrete mix. It includes sections for specifying materials, calculating quantities, and determining mix proportions. The key information is: 1) The form guides the user through a multi-step process to specify the concrete materials, design the mix proportions, and calculate the quantities of cement, sand, aggregate, and water needed. 2) Sample calculations are shown to determine the cement content based on the specified characteristic strength and standard deviation, then calculate the volumes and weights of each material. 3) The final section summarizes the total quantities in bags or cubic units needed for a 2.7 cubic meter batch of concrete mix designed to achieve 28-day compressive
