The strength of concrete depends on its grade

or the ratio of cement to sand or gravel when mixed with water.

Grade ratings such as C15, C20, C25 and C30 indicate the relative compression resistance of a concrete mixThe number in the rating indicates how many amount of force the concrete can withstand.

 Steel grade40 &60 means the tensile strength of steel is40 ksi and60 ksi respectively.

Grade40 or grade60 indicate to yield strength of steel and for more information

Grade60 rebar offers a minimum yield strength of60,000 pounds per square inch, or420 megapascals on the metric grading scale. It also features a continuous line system, with one line running along the length of the bar which is offset a minimum of five spaces from the center. These characteristics make grade60 rebar particularly well-suited for medium- to heavy-duty concrete reinforcement applications.

Rebar with a grade40 designation offers a minimum yield strength of40,000 pounds per square inch and conforms to ASTM A-615 performance standards. Its metric counterpart is grade280 rebar, with an equivalent minimum yield strength of280 megapascals. This makes grade40 rebar an excellent choice for light- to medium-duty concrete reinforcing applications.

Concrete mix design – M60 grade of concrete provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors.

A. Design Stipulation:Charastaristic comprehensive Strength @28 days =60 N/mm2Maximum size of aggregate =20 mmDegree of workability = CollapsibleDegree of quality control = GoodType of exposure = SevereMinimum cement content as per is456-2000

The grade of comcrete is one of the important properties of concrete which indeed unanimously by designer mean the strengh of concrete at28 days so as per your iinquiry means strength of concrete40 or60 N/mm2

Grades in Cement concretes are designed as per site requirements or usages.

Grade60 means the strength of cocrete after28 days should exceed60 MPa and for calculation of quantities the ratio of Water : Cement : FA : CA will be0.29 :1 :1.22 :2.22

Grade40 means the strength of cocrete after28 days should exceed40 MPa and for calculation of quantities the ratio of Water : Cement : FA : CA :  will be0.4:1 :1.75 :2.95
