Concrete was the structural material that was adopted during 19 century. The only criterion that was focused in order to perform the mix proportioning was the compressive strength. Better the compaction and more the cement, better is the strength.Â
Some of the early methods that were used for mix design of concrete was based on maximum density and minimum voids. They are mentioned:
