Concrete mix design - Faury method

Concrete mix design lets us select the concrete components and their proportions in order to reach a minimum 28-day strength. Obtaining the required concrete properties depends on adopting and optimizing the mix for the requirements of the structure and its environment. That is why the approach has two phases:

  • Phase I: Theoretical design, in which we use one of the mix design methods to define the concrete proportions;
  • Phase II: Experimental adjustment, where we adjust the results obtained through laboratory tests.

Several mix design methods exist, including:

  • The ACI method;
  • The Dreux-Gorisse method;
  • The Faury method;
  • The Bolomey method;
  • ...etc.

Our soil laboratory software «CiviLab» automates the theoretical part of concrete mix design using the Faury method and reduces the time needed to complete this phase. CiviLab also produces high-quality reports and archives them properly.


You can use CiviLab to:

  • Calculate the proportions of the concrete components (water, cement, sand, aggregates, etc.) using the Faury method;
  • Plot the graphs;
  • Save and print the results properly;
  • Organize test reports;
