Proportions for different grades:
Cement : Sand : Gravel
1 : 2 : 5 for grade C15(general purpose concrete) 15 mpa
1 : 2 : 4 for grade C25(strong) 25 mpa
1 : 2 : 3 for grade C30(very strong) 30 mpa
Remember the proportion is done in terms of volume. This means the above proportions are
correct if using the same measure.

Additives are added to Cement during manufacturing to get new property for cement whilst admixtures are added to mix during mixing to get new property to the fresh concrete.
