“MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT ON MIX DESIGN OF CONCRETE”

Abstract: Mobile Application Development on mix design of concrete is a development of app built using Android Studio which makes the lengthy process of calculations very simple by just selecting the desirable properties of elements. Concrete mix design comprises of five major elements in different proportion: cement, water, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate (sand), and air. Some elements such as admixture and pozzolonic materials can be included to give it certain desirable properties. Design of concrete mix is done by using IS code tables and calculation provided in the standard. Every grade of concrete has a unique properties and design process. Using xml code, mix design for various grades of concrete and combinations of additional materials can be implemented with ease. The work also states the use of mineral admixtures with partial replacement of basic ingredients of concrete. In our research, we prepared an extensive database of concrete recipes with the according destructive laboratory tests to get the desired strength and required durability. The mobile app aims to simplify the process of mix design, which typically involves complex calculations and considerations of various factors such as strength, workability, durability, and environmental conditions.
