Abstract: The present research work analysis the conceptual concrete mix design regarding the packing unit density concept for multi initial trial and error perfect shaped methodologies. In initial, a high strength based concrete with desired target compressive strength of M40 Graded concrete was shaped for various mixing proportion and Also, a stabilized standard chart has been developed for the various packing constituents (percentage) in various parameters, where the aggregates (F/c) ratio 0.5 to 0.8, Binder-Total aggregate (B/Ta) ratio 0.27 to 0.24 and water-binder content (w/b) ratio 0.30. The laboratory experimental research work results contain fly ash percentage replacement level at 25 and 50% in Portland cement and inclusion of both ends hooked type of steel fibers along with 1.50% of superplasticizers by weight of binder content for the various mix produced for the good tracking of the UPV values by using fabricating Plexiglas moulds, Pozzolanic Activity Index (PAI), if the compressive strength increases automatically less volumetric shrinkage takes place.
