Abstract
A rational & logical Concrete Mix Design to cater to the practical requirements plays a key role in concrete engineering. It is well established fact that the concrete is highly consumed material throughout the world. With the exponentially high demand of infrastructure facilities, the concrete requirement is on a very huge scale. Therefore, using the optimum quantities of concrete making constituent materials is of utmost importance in order to achieve the desired fresh & hardened properties. Owing to an enormous utilization of concrete in day- to-day construction work, economy is a vital factor to be considered. In India, mix design is carried out by following the rules prescribed in IS 10262: 2009 & IS 456:2000. As a well known fact, every country has its own codes to design a concrete mix. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the Concrete Mix Design of M35 grade by the American Code; ACI 211.1-91 with Indian codes IS 10262: 2009 & IS 456:2000. The outcomes are critically reviewed & the comments are given.
