    The document outlines the process and requirements for submitting a mix design report to the Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO) for approval. Testing is done on cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water and admixtures to design concrete mixes that meet specifications.

    Materials that are tested include cement, coarse aggregate (20mm and 10mm sizes), fine aggregate, water, and any admixtures used.

    Tests performed on the materials include sieve analysis, specific gravity, flakiness index, elongation index, abrasion value, bulk density, crushing value, impact value, organic impurities, and water absorption. Tests are also done to check for soundness and alkalinity.
