Critical damping in the context of M25 concrete typically refers to the material's response to dynamic loading and its ability to return to equilibrium without oscillation. M25 concrete has a characteristic compressive strength of 25 MPa and is often used in structural applications. The damping ratio for concrete can vary, but for M25, it usually falls within a range of 0.02 to 0.10, indicating that while it has some energy dissipation properties, it is generally not considered highly damped. Critical damping is more relevant in dynamic analysis of structures rather than a specific property of the concrete itself.

One cubic metre of concrete weighs 2.5 Tonnes. Typically, 1m3 of concrete is made up of 350Kg of cement, 700Kg of sand, 1,200Kg of chippings and 150 Litres of water.
the ratio is 1:1:2... so 1 bag of cement is used..ie; cement:sand:aggregate....
A system that is critically damped will return to zero more quickly than an overdamped or underdamped system. Underdamping will result in oscillations for an extended period of time, and while overdamped things will return to zero without much (or any, I think) oscillations they will get there more slowly.
from M30 onwards the mixes are designed. they dont have a const ration as in the case of mixes like M10, M15....,M25

Critical damping is commonly used in engineering to prevent overshooting and oscillations in dynamic systems. It is applied in shock absorbers for vehicles to ensure a smooth ride and in building structures to reduce vibrations during earthquakes. In electrical circuits, critical damping is used to suppress ringing and improve response time.

The damping ratio in a system can be determined by analyzing the response of the system to a step input and calculating the ratio of the actual damping coefficient to the critical damping coefficient.
M25 - M40 can be used..
In one cubic meter of M25 concrete, there are approximately 13.33 bags of 50 kg each. This is based on the standard mix proportion of M25 concrete, which uses 1 part cement, 1 part sand, and 2 parts coarse aggregates by volume.
to get critical damped system
Critical damping is faster than overdamping because it minimizes the time it takes for a system to return to equilibrium without oscillating. In critical damping, there is no oscillation, while in overdamping, the system takes longer to return to equilibrium due to excessive damping causing slow decay of oscillations.
M20 give you strength of 20Mpa and M25 give you strength of 25 Mpa after 28 days of curing.
Critical damping of a ballistic galvanometer refers to the minimum amount of damping required for the galvanometer's pointer to return to zero without oscillating after being deflected. This ensures a rapid but smooth response to changes in current, preventing overshooting or settling time delays in measurements. Achieving critical damping involves balancing the resistive and inductive components of the galvanometer's damping system.
