OPC Mix Design (Sample)

The document outlines the design specifications for a normal RCC concrete mix with mild exposure conditions and a target grade of 20 MPa. It specifies a water-cement ratio of 0.36, maximum aggregate size of 20mm, and zone IV aggregates. A trial mix is then designed meeting the specifications with 392 kg/m3 cement, 141 kg/m3 water, 1336 kg/m3 coarse aggregate, and 586 kg/m3 fine aggregate. Site corrections are then made to the trial mix.
