Answer / sjtbehera
If you are going Is 456-2000 it is 1:1:2. in case you going
to mix design yes is 1:1.5:3.65. i calculate this design
according to local material.
You also cam calculate.

Answer / er shalu verma
OPTIMUM MIX DESIGN FOR M25- 1:1:2
SO 1:1.5:3.65 IS INCORRECT RATIO OF M25 MIX DESIGN.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 6 Yes | 1 No |
Answer / mahendra mohan srivastava
We have two type of mix one is nominal mix and second is
designe mis. if we go through nominal mix then we can say
M25 is 1:1.5:3. but M25 and above this please go through
only designe mix recommended by BIS. so we can calculate
after seive analyse and thro grading of aggregate.

Answer / lalit lokhande
When you go through the mix design ..it almost comes like
1:2.06:3.53,
1:1.5:3.65 is almost correct except the quantity of sand.
