The document contains calculations to determine the mix proportions for concrete. Specific gravities are found for GGBS, cement, kerosene, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. Sieve analyses are performed on the coarse and fine aggregates. The water absorption of the aggregates is also determined. Maximum water-cement ratio and mix proportions by weight are calculated based on a design compressive strength of 550 kg/cm^2. The weights of cement, GGBS, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate required for 1m^3 of concrete are determined. Total weights of materials needed for casting 6 cubes including wastage are also calculated.
