High grade · 40 MPa
Used in lower-storey columns of tall towers, bridge superstructure and coastal structures where chloride ingress is the design driver.
Where it is used
Columns of tall buildings, bridge decks, marine work.
Used in lower-storey columns of tall towers, bridge superstructure and coastal structures where chloride ingress is the design driver. Under IS 456, M40 is suited to very severe exposure, which fixes a minimum cement content of 380 kg per cubic metre and a maximum free water-cement ratio of 0.40. Those two limits are durability requirements, not strength requirements, and they cannot be traded away to save cost. A mix that hits 40 MPa on a cube but exceeds the water-cement limit will still corrode its reinforcement early.
Slump is set at 140-180 mm depending on how the concrete is placed. Chute discharge sits at the lower end of that band, line pumping in the middle, and boom placement or congested reinforcement at the upper end. Slump is achieved with admixture, never with added water. If anyone at site asks the driver to add water to the drum, the load stops being M40.

Questions
Our indicative rate for M40 is Rs. 6,450 per cubic metre ex-GST at base, varying by delivery location. Add 18 percent GST, plus pumping charges if the concrete cannot be discharged by chute. Rates move with cement and aggregate input costs, so confirm at the time of booking.
Used in lower-storey columns of tall towers, bridge superstructure and coastal structures where chloride ingress is the design driver. Typical applications are columns of tall buildings, bridge decks, marine work.
M40 is a design mix with a characteristic compressive strength of 40 MPa at 28 days. Minimum cement content is 380 kg per cubic metre, maximum free water-cement ratio 0.40, nominal aggregate 20 mm, and slump 140-180 mm depending on placement method. Suitable for very severe exposure conditions under IS 456 Table 5.
A standard transit mixer carries 6 cubic metres. Part loads below 6 cum are supplied but attract a flat charge, because the drum and the trip are committed regardless of how much concrete is inside.
Yes. Line pumps carry a 15 cum minimum and boom placers a 30 cum minimum, charged per cubic metre on top of the basic rate. Confirm placement equipment at the time of booking, since equipment availability is usually the binding constraint.
