Some new series of three associate Partially Balanced Incomplete Block Designs with minimal blocks and two replicates have been constructed by introducing another blank diagonal entry to triangular association scheme. The generalization of parameters for any even positive integer n greater than or equal to eight have also been given. Specific design has also been constructed to illustrate the results numerically.
