Study of Concrete Mix Design: Optimizing Strength and Durability

Ms. Aashi Agarwal

Abstract

Choosing the right quantities of different components to produce concrete with the necessary qualities is a critical step in the building engineering process. An overview of the concrete mix design process, including material selection, mixture proportioning, and testing techniques, is given in this study. It is covered how important elements including the need for strength, workability, durability, and economy affect mix design. The merits and disadvantages of several approaches, including the ACI method, the British system, and others, are highlighted. In mix design, it is crucial to take local materials and environmental considerations into account. The report ends by summarizing the key elements of concrete mix design and the possibility for more study and breakthroughs in the area.
