The grade 15, 25, 30 means the concrete compression resistance at 28 days.
It is done in kg/cm2. Usually for most of the qualities of
Portland Cement, sand, and gravel, the proportion is done in terms of volume: 1:2:3 for 1 cement sack volume:2 sand volume:3 gravel volume. This proportion variable depends of the size of the aggregates, physical characteristics, and quality of cement and water used. For important projects you have to send samples of these components to the lab where they can determinate the right proportion. However, in most cases for small projects, it is a practice to use 1:2:3 for grade 30; 1:2:4 for grade 25; and 1:2:5 for grade 15.
