Want this question answered?
The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.
40 20 concrete design mix is the water to cementitious materials ratio. This is what determines the class of the design mix.

The mix proportion for M40 concrete is 1:1.65:2.92W/C ratio = 0.4The design calculation is as per IS mix design
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Why does concrete mix with low water cement ratio resulted in hardened concrete having higher strength than those with high water cement ratio?
The concrete mix should be a 5:1 Cement to water ratio. make sure you mix thoroughly when adding water. Look up "Concrete slump test"

1:2
1:2
cemet: sand: Agg=1:1:2 (Nominal Mix) Above answer is not as per engineering standards. For concrete mixing ration in M30 grade concrete, the mix has to be designed after testing all the materials including water in labs. When you go for higher grade of concretes the mix has to be designed , it is the water to cement ratio which has to be monitered for higher grades of concrete
high water cement ratio , fresh concrete not mixed well , the fresh mix not compacted well ,
1:1.5:2.5
1:1:2
How to mix 4500 psi cement?
the strength of concrete is effected by water /cement ratio as the water/cement ratio increases the strength of the concrete decreases
