NOTES
1. The above values correspond to good degree of site control having proper storage of cement; weigh batching
of all materials; controlled addition of water; regular checking of all materials; aggregate grading and
moisture content; and regular checking of workability and strength. Where there are deviations from the
above, the site control shall be designated as fair and the values given in the above table shall be increased
by 1 N/mm2.
2. For grades M65 and above, the standard deviation may also be established by actual trials based on assumed
proportions, before finalizing the mix.

Water Content Corresponding to saturated Surface dry aggregate.
NOTES
1. These quantities of mixing water are for use in computing cement/cementitious materials content for trial
batches..
2. On account of long distances over which concrete needs to be carried from batching plant/RMC plant, the
concrete mix is generally designed for a higher slump initially than the slump required at the time of
placing. The initial slump value shall depend on the distance of transport and loss of slump with time.
