Answer / civilkamal
as per IS 456 Table 5
For plain cement concrete between 0.4 to 0.6
for Reinforced concrete between 0.4 to 0.55
this will suite only where the maximum aggregate is 20mm

Answer / ram
first checking of weather condition of the concrete mixing
plant,& moister contant checking of Fine & Coarse
agrregate then after calculate water cement ratio and then
it will decide before design a mix.it is clearly define @
IS 456
