Minimum Grade of concrete to be used in any type of structure is depends on the exposure condition to which it need to stand with.

IS 456, states the guidelines for minimum grade of concrete, minimum cement content and maximum water cement ration for PCC and RCC work as per the exposure conditions.

Refer below post to know the requirement as per IS 456

Environmental conditions are most important factor while designing any type of structure, if not consider the structure looses his health and die before end of its designed service life.
