This document appears to be a form for recording the mix design details for a concrete mix using the BRE method. It includes sections for specifying the target strength, cement properties, aggregate types and sizes, water-cement ratio, slump/workability, and calculations to determine the quantities of cement, water, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate required for a given batch size. The form allows recording the reference values, specifications and calculations to develop a mix design that meets strength, workability and proportion requirements.
