    Syed Abuthahir
    This document provides specifications for road construction projects, including standards for concrete mixes. It defines classifications for concrete based on compressive strength levels ranging from C15 to C60. The classifications indicate the 28-day compressive strength in N/mm2 and maximum aggregate size in mm. Typical classes listed are C15 to C60 for normal concrete and LC15 to LC60 for lightweight concrete. Tables are included that specify maximum free water-cementitious material ratios, minimum cementitious material weights, and allowed proportions of fly ash or GGBS by weight of total cementitious content for various strength classes.

    4.3.9 Classification of Concrete


    Concrete classes used shall be as noted in the Contract plans, the particular specifications, and as
    described in these Standard Specifications. Concrete classifications shall be per BS EN 206-1 and
    BS 8500-1 and as modified by the following definitions.

    op V1
    a. Compressive strength class of a concrete mix will be designated as ”Xyy/zz” on the Contract
    plans and in these Standard Specifications, where:
    1. Prefix: ‘X’ = ‘C’ for normal-weight and heavyweight concrete or ‘LC’ for lightweight
    concrete

    C -
    y
    2. ‘yy’ = Minimum 28-day cube strength in N/mm2
    C
    3. ’zz’ = nominal maximum size of aggregate in mm
    b. Class of concrete may be abbreviated by omitting the aggregate size, e.g. C20 in place of
    C
    C20/20.
    The compressive strength classes are in N/mm2 (MPa). Typical concrete classes include:
    Q
     Normal Concretes: C15, C20, C25, C30, C35, C40, C45, C50, C60
     Lightweight Concretes: LC15, LC20, LC25, LC30, LC35, LC40, LC45, LC50, LC60
