It can depend on the governing agency standards mostly, but the typical design life used by ACI (American Concrete Institute) is an average of 75 years. The normal range given in between 50-100 years.
The lifespan of concrete structure to be considered about 50 to 60 yrs depending upon various factor like quality control,workmanship....etc,
Limit state design is designed a concrete member for its various damage limit states, concrete sover spalling, steel yielding all the way up to the crushing of the concrete core, with this you can control how you want the concrete member to fail.
The mix proportion for M40 concrete is 1:1.65:2.92W/C ratio = 0.4The design calculation is as per IS mix design
40 20 concrete design mix is the water to cementitious materials ratio. This is what determines the class of the design mix.
Yes the raw materials used are the same but design as per market requirement..!! Prestressed concrete is used for bridges and damms where concrete pouring is not possible
deign as per the codes or the design methods and go for the trail mixes.////

Its the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required, strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible, is termed the concrete mix design.
