This document provides the mix design calculations for a Grade M45 concrete. Some key points:
1) The mix design is for a concrete with a target compressive strength of 53.25 N/mm2 at 28 days using OPC 43 grade cement, fly ash, and crushed angular coarse and fine aggregates.
2) The mix proportions are calculated to have a water-cement ratio of 0.41558 and water-cementitious ratio of 0.290909.
3) The calculated mix proportions are 374.27 kg/m3 cement, 160.4 kg/m3 fly ash, 155.54 kg/m3 water, 692.58 kg/m3 fine
