SBC of soft rock (morrum)

prasad says:

Sir sbc is 30 how much steel required per sft

raj says:

Want all latest Civil IS CODE

Dhiraj jadhav says:

good afternoon sir and thanks…

subburaj.T says:

how to make Sieve Analysis of Combined Coarse Aggregates?

hoshiyar singh says:

what is the ratio of M80 CONCRETE AND its properties

kamalendu swain says:

Dear Sir,
Good afternoon.Please calculation formula for Fine Aggt.Corse Aggt and cement required for M-30 & M-45 Concrete

tvsreenivasrav says:

I Want Know M-20 Grade Concrete Best Designs For House Slab Purpuse With Aprox price For cu.m

Vaibhav Mali says:

I am my self a builder. The mix proportion given is too high. Cement content comes to be 10.8 bags per cum. Its way too much high. I have designed my self a mix design of M-20, where in I have used 6 bags per cum and the strength achieved is nearly average to M-24.

sachin patil says:

What is mean by SSD condition?

anil chavan says:

Sir, we require your cement and mix design manual.How to make sieve analysis of mix metals. How to replace stone powder .
Pl do reply at earliest.

Roshan Lal says:

Please let me know that from where we get the limitation of combine gradation.

sumit patel says:

sir,I want know cement required for m-250&m-200 grade concrete

JAGMOHAN says:

Sir, we require your cement and mix design manual.

mujahid mohammad choudhary says:

sir plz give me information about ration of mix designing and water cement ration details

like 1 3 6 ratios

anish kumar says:

how to make problem on based on m20 mix desig show me all steps sir……

Shashi says:

Sir, I want to know the qt of cement required for 150 x 150 x150 mm cube of concrete

Mukesh Gohel says:

In this mix design from wer we can getastimated 145 ltr water in which chapter????

Mukesh Gohel says:

Roshan Lal
