mohankumar.badiger says:

thanks for your guidance about mix design sir…….

Tony says:

Dear sir,
If i use the specific gravity -dry, for the calculations of mix design, is there any problem for the presentation?

Er. Raj M. Khan says:

No, You can not use the dry specific Gravity, because you have to maintain W/C ratio & After that the moisture correction is to be made. else the desired slump can not be achieved.

HEMRAJ says:

which admixture will used in M30 grade concrete ,give ex.

surya says:

please give description about unit weight of m30

Er. Raj M. Khan says:

just add the concrete ingredients of m-30

sauvir singh says:

water =173.23 kg cement= 455.87kg fine aggregate (specific gravity2.67 =442.27 kg
coarsse aggregate specific gravity (2.92) = 1405.69 kg

unit wt of m30 after 28days curing is = 2650kg /cum in lab condition it may be deffer at site

Oryakhel says:

thanks for every one helping each other

Er. Raj M. Khan says:

its my pleasure

pratik says:

Can you plz help me with m30 mix ratio in litres.it would be very helpful of you. Ithank you

Krishna rao says:

Very thankful to you sir

dilip swami says:

sir for making m-30 or m40 class paver which machine i purchase technically.thanks

kalyan kumar giri says:

dear, sir can u write me what are the ratio i used (cement, sand, stone dust,water or any chemical for making of solid bricks) which is harden and can be used for construction of building. i newly start production of cement solid brick for rural people which is cheaper then clay brick thankin you

Anil gupta says:

Can you plz help me with m30 mix ratio in kg.it would be very helpful of you. Ithank you

Atul kumar says:

Dear sir,
If i use the specific gravity -dry, for the calculations of mix design, is there any problem for the presentation?

tarun jain says:

for the example that you have solved for m30 what’s the mix ratio sir

sivakumar says:

what is mix ratio for m30

tarun jain says:

am gettin 41.5 as strength at th7 day for m30 amd opc 53. is it correct

krutik tachak says:

can anyone tel me mix proportion for M30 in terms of ghamela ??? like at site i used normal concrete mixer . so wat do i need to tell to labour to pour in the materials

ER. SUSANTA KUMAR MISRA says:

This is very necessary for all civil engineers. Thanks to all.
How can we calculate the Mix design for M-30 C.C keeping cement content constant ?

NIRVESH JAISWAL says:

can design mix concrete be converted into nominal mix concrete at work site for concrete grade more than M25 and above.

Dr.A.R.Majumdar says:

can i suggest some clarity and improvement?

Goutam kumar dutta says:

Dear sir can U write me the mixer machine mix m-30 site. pl. write me Box size. Thanking you

somesh says:

Thanks for your information regards mix design of m30
