Concrete Mix Design Calculation - M20, M25, M30 ...
Estimated water content = 186+ (3/100) x 186 = 191.6 kg /m 3 Step 4 — Selection of Cement Content Water-cement ratio = 0.5 Corrected water content = 191.6 kg /m 3 Cement content = From Table 5 of IS 456, Minimum cement Content for mild exposure condition = 300 kg/m 3 383.2 kg/m 3 > 300 kg/m 3, hence, OK.This value is to be checked for durability requirement from IS: 456.
