thread592-250243: Concrete Mix design

Someone please tell me in which British standard i can get the charts and tables used in designing a concrete mix, for example:

CCS 4: Relationship between compressive strength and free-water/ cement ratio.

CCS 1: Approximate compressive strength (N/mm2) of concrete mixes made with a free-water/cement ratio of 0.5

CCS 2: Approximate free-water contents (kg/m3) required to give various levels of workability.

CCS 5: Estimated wet density of fully compacted concrete.

etc.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Conrete Mix Design parameters

from a reply in another web site:

Concrete mixes will be standard mixes given in BS5328 and is specified by its required performance in terms of a strength grade. Mix proportions for standard mixes given in table 14 are based on the use of cements of standard strength classes 42.5 or higher.

RE: Conrete Mix Design parameters

Look of Neville's Book on Properties of Concrete or Neville and Brooks Concrete Technology - they go into various design methods.
