New: Optimize cost per MPa

Mix Design Cost–Strength Optimizer (MDCSO) Hit target strength at the lowest cost

Optimize concrete and mortar mixes using real material prices and your lab data. Meet strength, slump, and durability targets while cutting binder cost. Compare scenarios, validate constraints, and export submittal-ready mix sheets in minutes.

From target compressive strength to the lowest‑cost, code‑compliant mix

MDCSO features built for real‑world mix design

Cost–Strength optimizer

Minimize material cost at your target compressive strength (f'c) and workability. Apply hard limits for w/c (or w/b), cement and SCM ranges, air content, unit weight, admixture caps, and exposure/durability classes (ACI/EN). Get final proportions per m³ plus a cost–strength tradeoff view.

Age‑aware strength targets

Set 1/3/7/28‑day targets and let MDCSO balance early‑age performance with 28‑day f'c. Use historical plant data or maturity‑based models to avoid over‑cementing while meeting schedule and stripping requirements.

Transparent tradeoffs and sensitivity

See which constraint is binding, per‑material cost breakdown, and how f'c and slump respond to changes in binder, water, aggregates, and admixture dosage. Compare scenarios side‑by‑side and export a traceable report.
