Factors affecting concrete mix design: The concrete mix design procedure affects by the following factors. 1. Maximum water-cement ratio 2. Minimum cement content 3. Maximum nominal size of aggregate 4. Workability in terms of slump 5. Exposure conditions 6. Maximum temperature at the pouring point 7. Early age and ultimate strength requirement 8. Grading zone of fine aggregate 9. Type of admixture to be used 10. Specific gravity of all ingredient materials
