Concrete MIX Design Excel sheet

Concrete mix design has to be performed to find out mix ratio of concrete element to acquire target strength for a specified job e.g. structure. For different structure different strength of concrete are used. As example, strength of concrete for high rise building or important class building and low rise or relatively less important buildings are not same. That's why mix design of concrete need to be done to get the desired strength of concrete.

We know the fundamental elements of concrete are water, cement, fine aggregate ( mainly sand), and coarse aggregate ( brick or stone chips). So by the consequences of the mix design, ratio of these things are obtain to get expected concrete strength. And then present those amount as a ratio. May be the ratio looks like this:

Water : cement : sand : brick/stone

Or just like this

Cement : sand : brick/stone
