Concrete Mix Design

This document provides specifications for three types of concrete mix designs: 1) Normal weight concrete for structural elements with cement contents ranging from 380-450kg/m3 and water-cement ratios of 0.35-0.45. 2) Blinding concrete for non-structural elements with lower cement contents of 280-320kg/m3 and higher water-cement ratios of 0.35-0.6. 3) Cement sand screed for waterproofing protection with cement contents of 280-350kg/m3 and water-cement ratios of 0.5-0.65.
