  Concrete Mixes: Nominal Mix vs Design Mix | Afroz Civil Concrete Mixes: Nominal Mix vs Design Mix At Afroz Civil , we provide both theoretical and practical insights into civil engineering, including concrete technology. Understanding the difference between Nominal Mix and Design Mix concrete is essential for students, engineers, and construction professionals. 1. Nominal Mix Concrete Definition: Nominal mix concrete is a simple type of concrete in which the proportions of cement, sand, and coarse aggregate are fixed and specified by volume. It is suitable for ordinary construction where high accuracy in concrete strength is not critical. Common Nominal Mix Ratios (Cement:Sand:Coarse Aggregate) M5: 1:5:10 M10: 1:3:6 M15: 1:2:4 M20: 1:1.5:3 Key Points Simple and quick to prepare. No trial mixes required. Suitable f...
