Different Grade Of Concrete With Proportion (Mix Ratio)

Grade Of Concrete

Grade of concrete is defined as the minimum strength the concrete must posses after 28 days of construction with proper quality control.

Concrete grades are denoted by M10, M20, M30 according to their compressive strength.

The "M" denotes Mix design of concrete followed by the compressive strength number in N/mm2

"Mix" is the respective ingredient proportions which are Cement : Sand : Aggregate Or 

Cement : Fine Aggregate : Coarse Aggregate.

Concrete Grade And Mix Ratio Table

As per IS 456:2000, the grades less than M20 should not be used in RCC works.
