Note:
The above effort for making design mix (normal) is a guide only and hence user should take every care to do all
related test of aggregate as per IS-codes & go for trials and ascertain the target strength achieved before actual use.
The Sieve Analaysis under Sr.No-SA-1 & SA-2 are for coarse aggregate of 30 mm & 15mm nominal single sized
respectively.However 20 mm & 10 mm nominal single-sized aggregate or graded aggregate of 20mm nominal size
(Sr.No-SA-4) instead can be used.
Mix Design for a particular grade can be designed with two type of coarse aggregate (Single sized CA-I, CA-II) or one
type with graded aggregate.
In each case above the % passing for a particular IS SIEVE should conform the prescribed grading limit of IS Code.
For fine aggregate with higher finer fines and low FM values, suitable proportion of Crusher (Grit + dust ) can be used
with trials to increase FM value.
