Concrete mix design is the process of determining the right proportions of materials to create concrete with specific properties. This involves selecting the appropriate amounts of cement, water, aggregates, and sometimes admixtures to achieve desired strength, workability, and durability. The design considers factors like the intended use of the concrete, environmental conditions, and local material availability. By following established guidelines and standards, engineers can ensure that the concrete mix meets performance requirements for structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads.
