The aggregates must satisfy the industrial standard (TIS-566).

68 (ii) Design charts for compressive strength - The design charts for compressive strength are constructed at at age of of concrete of of 7, 7, 28, days and separated into two sets for fly ash type 2a 2a and 2b. - Compressive strength is is designed by by assuming the value of of γ equal to to 1.2. Then the value of of water to to binder ratio is is selected from the design charts from the required compressive strength. -It is is noted that if if the compressive strengths at at more than one specific age is is required, the minimum water to to binder ratio that satisfies all all strength requirements is is selected.
