One-Day Concrete Mix Design Workshop

The Department of Civil Engineering at Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda, organized a one-day workshop on Concrete Mix Design on 21st April 2026 in the SE Civil Classroom. The workshop aimed to help students understand the concept of concrete mix design in accordance with IS 10262:2019 (revised version) and to provide practical exposure to various testing and casting procedures.

The workshop commenced with Session I, where Prof. Shruti Jambhale introduced the revised IS 10262:2019 code. The session focused on the key principles, updates, and methodology involved in concrete mix design as per the latest standards.

In Session II, students engaged in solving numerical problems based on the mix design procedure following the Indian Standard Code (2019). This session helped reinforce their theoretical understanding through practical application.

The afternoon session was dedicated to hands-on learning. Students conducted mix design trials and participated in the casting of concrete cubes for testing. They performed various tests, including the Slump Cone Test and Compaction Factor Test, and carried out mix design trials for M30 grade concrete in the Concrete Technology Laboratory.

A total of 35 students attended the workshop. The session proved to be highly informative and practical, enhancing the students’ understanding of concrete mix design and laboratory testing procedures.
