Mix Design

Mix design is the process of planning and determining the right proportions of materials—such as cement, water, sand, and gravel—to create concrete that meets specific strength, durability, and workability requirements. It involves selecting the optimal mix so the concrete performs well for its intended purpose, whether for a building foundation, road, or structure. By carefully calculating these ratios, engineers ensure the concrete is strong enough, cost-effective, and suited for the environment where it will be used, balancing quality with efficiency.
