    Everyone will have a slightly different concrete recipe. This in turn will be altered by time of year, weather, application & mix requirements. This site will give some further info:

    the basic requirements of the concrete mix design for the pumped concrete are:
    1) the slump should be atleast 100 mm at the placing point.
    2) The use of admixtures to be made to make a suitable slump and not compromise on W/C ratio
    3) the coarse aggregate should preferably be 20 mm down strictly.
    4) the coarse aggregate should preferably be processed through Vertical shaft impactor.
    5) use of fly ash be made as cement replacement if OPC is used.

    experts can add to the inputs.
    regards
