    Mix Design of Concrete: British (DOE) Method B. Bhattacharjee Civil Engineering Department Iit Delhi

    Uploaded by

    Sidharth Mahajan
    The document describes the British Department of Environment (DOE) concrete mix design method. It discusses the steps of the method, which include selecting a water-cement ratio from curves based on the desired compressive strength, estimating water content based on slump and aggregate properties, calculating cement content, determining aggregate contents. It also describes how to incorporate fly ash in the mix design process by first calculating control mix proportions and then adjusting the water and cement contents based on the amount of fly ash used. The overall DOE method provides a systematic process for concrete mix design that accounts for aggregate properties and desired workability.
