What is the difference between nominal mix and design mix?

Answer Posted / miidangriika

Nominal Mix can be said as the mix prepared as per the
given standards in IS

Whereas Design mix is something which is prepared based on
the availabilty of the quality or type of the aggregates
(both coarse and fine) found on that locality or nearby
vicinity to meet the requirements of the strength of the
concrete.

There is no hard and fast rule for the quantity of the
materials should be either based on volume or weight.
