As a civil engineer with extensive experience in construction materials, I often get asked about the correct mix for concrete. Concrete is a versatile and widely used building material, composed of a mixture of cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (gravel or crushed stone), and water. The proportions of these components can vary depending on the specific requirements of the project, but there are some general guidelines that can be followed to achieve a good mix.

Another "old rule of thumb" for mixing concrete is 1 cement : 2 sand : 3 gravel by volume. Mix the dry ingredients and slowly add water until the concrete is workable. This mixture may need to be modified depending on the aggregate used to provide a concrete of the right workability.
