Because we did not seen any where 1:2:8 & 1:4:10 in our code books.

Can you please tell us the Grade of 1:2:8. Because this is not a proper graded concrete mix proportion. Coarse aggregate %age is very high so there is 99% chance of aggregation.

We should not encourage 1:2:8 & 1:4:10 mixes in the field since they will develop honey comb and instability in strength.
