Jadual Mix Design (Example1)

The document outlines the steps and calculations for determining a concrete mix design. It includes determining the characteristic strength, standard deviation, target mean strength, water-cement ratio, aggregate proportions, and quantities of cement, water, and aggregates. The mix design aims to achieve the specified characteristic strength of 35 N/mm^2 while meeting requirements for slump, aggregate size, water content, cement content, and aggregate proportions.
