Answer / sjtbehera

If you are going Is 456-2000 it is 1:1:2. in case you going

Answer / mahendra mohan srivastava

We have two type of mix one is nominal mix and second is
designe mis. if we go through nominal mix then we can say
M25 is 1:1.5:3. but M25 and above this please go through
only designe mix recommended by BIS. so we can calculate
after seive analyse and thro grading of aggregate.
