"Sample [first trial] mix proportions [by weight of water (W), ordinary Portland cement grade 53 (OPC 53 grade or (C) in Note below), fly ash (FA), and fine sand (FS) passing 4 mm IS sieve] ... are given in table- 1, 2 & 3. However, conclusive... proportions by actual trials may be worked out... for required workability, plastic density and compressive strength."

Note: Table 1 [cement, fly ash]—density range 800-1400 kg/m3; 28-day Comp Strength range 2.5-12 N/mm2; W/(C+FA) 0.5-0.35; FA/C 0.52-1.07. Table 2 [cement, sand]—density range 1200-1800; 28-day Comp Strength range 6.5-25.0 N/mm2; W/C 0.55-0.40; FS/C 1.9-2.2. Table 3 [cement, sand, fly ash]—density range 1200-1600; 28-day Comp Strength range 6.5-17.5; W/(C+FA) 0.55-0.45; FS/C 1.9-2.2; C/FA=2.33 (2 1/3) constant.
