Abstract: Mix design can be defined as the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative proportions with the object of producing concrete of certain minimum strength and durability.Many parameters determine the strength, workability and durability of concrete.The objective of this study is to find out the influence of each parameter on the strength and to cost of concrete by conducting the minimal number of experiments. Parameters considered for the study are water-cement ratio,slump,size of aggregate, grade ofcement specific gravity of fine aggregate gravity of coarse aggregate and zone. Taguchi method is a statistical approach for theanalysis of the factors influencing a system and to design the experiment with minimum number of trials. A16 x16 matrix has been developed as per Taugchi method and the seven parameter were varied accordingly. Sixteen M30 mixes were designed and cast. The compressive strength, splittensile strength and workability were determined. The factors influencing the strength and cost of concrete were ranked according to the order of influence.
