Mix Design For M35 Grade Of Concrete

Posted in Mix Design | Email This Post The mix design for M35 Grade Of Concrete for pile foundations provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors. Grade of Concrete : M35 Characteristic Strength (Fck) : 35 Mpa Standard Deviation : 1.91 Mpa* Target Mean Strength : T.M.S.= Fck +1.65 x S.D.

(from I.S 456-2000) = 35+ 1.651.91 = 38.15 Mpa Test Data For Material: Aggregate Type : Crushed Specific Gravity Cement : 3.15 Coarse Aggregate : 2.67 Fine Aggregate : 2.62 Water Absorption: Coarse Aggregate : 0.5% Fine Aggregate : 1.0 % MIX DESIGN Take Sand content as percentage of total aggregates = 36% Select Water Cement Ratio = 0.43 for concrete grade M35 (From Fig 2. of I.S. 10262- 1982) Select Water Content = 172 Kg (From IS: 10262 for 20 mm nominal size of aggregates Maximum Water Content = 186 Kg/ M3 ) Hence, Cement Content= 172 / 0.43 = 400 Kg / M3 Formula for Mix Proportion of Fine and Coarse Aggregate: 1000(1-a0) = {(Cement Content / Sp. Gr. Of Cement) + Water Content +(Fa / Sp. Gr.* Pf )} 1000(1-a0) = {(Cement Content / Sp. Gr. Of Cement) + Water Content +Ca / Sp. Gr.* Pc )} Where Ca = Coarse Aggregate Content Fa = Fine Aggregate Content Pf = Sand Content as percentage of total Aggregates = 0.36 Pc = Coarse Aggregate Content as percentage of total Aggregates. = 0.64

a0 = Percentage air content in concrete (As per IS :10262 for 20 mm nominal size of aggregates air content is 2 %) = 0.02 Hence, 1000(1-0.02) = {(400 /3.15) + 172 +(Fa / 2.62 x 0.36)} Fa = 642 Kg/ Cum As the sand is of Zone II no adjustment is required for sand. Sand Content = 642 Kg/ Cum 1000(1-0.02) = {(400 /3.15) + 172 +(Ca / 2.67 x 0.64)} Hence, Ca = 1165 Kg/ Cum From combined gradation of Coarse aggregates it has been found out that the proportion of 53:47 of 20 mm & 10 mm aggregates produces the best gradation as per IS: 383. Hence, 20 mm Aggregates = 619 Kg And 10 mm Aggregates = 546 Kg To obtain slump in the range of 150-190 mm water reducing admixture brand SP430 from Fosroc with a dose of 0.3 % by weight of Cement shall be used. Hence the Mix Proportion becomes: Units Kg/ M3 Cement : Sand: Coarse Aggregates = 1 : 1.6 : 2.907

Mix Design M-40 Grade

Posted in Mix Design | Email This Post The mix design M-40 grade for Pier (Using Admixture Fosroc) provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors. Parameters for mix design M40 Grade Designation = M-40 Type of cement = O.P.C-43 grade Brand of cement = Vikram ( Grasim ) Admixture = Fosroc ( Conplast SP 430 G8M ) Fine Aggregate = Zone-II

Sp. Gravity Cement = 3.15 Fine Aggregate = 2.61 Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 2.65 Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 2.66 Minimum Cement (As per contract) = 400 kg / m3 Maximum water cement ratio (As per contract) = 0.45 Mix Calculation: 1. Target Mean Strength = 40 + (5 X 1.65) = 48.25 Mpa 2. Selection of water cement ratio:Assume water cement ratio = 0.4 3. Calculation of cement content: Assume cement content 400 kg / m3 (As per contract Minimum cement content 400 kg / m3) 4. Calculation of water: 400 X 0.4 = 160 kg Which is less than 186 kg (As per Table No. 4, IS: 10262) Hence o.k. 5. Calculation for C.A. & F.A.: As per IS : 10262 , Cl. No. 3.5.1 V = [ W + (C/Sc) + (1/p) . (fa/Sfa) ] x (1/1000) V = [ W + (C/Sc) + {1/(1-p)} . (ca/Sca) ] x (1/1000) Where V = absolute volume of fresh concrete, which is equal to gross volume (m3) minus the volume of entrapped air , W = mass of water ( kg ) per m3 of concrete , C = mass of cement ( kg ) per m3 of concrete , Sc = specific gravity of cement, (p) = Ratio of fine aggregate to total aggregate by absolute volume , (fa) , (ca) = total mass of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate (kg) per m3 of Concrete respectively, and Sfa , Sca = specific gravities of saturated surface dry fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate respectively. As per Table No. 3 , IS-10262, for 20mm maximum size entrapped air is 2% . Assume F.A. by % of volume of total aggregate = 36.5 %

0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.365 ) ( Fa / 2.61 )] ( 1 /1000 ) => Fa = 660.2 kg Say Fa = 660 kg. 0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.635 ) ( Ca / 2.655 )] ( 1 /1000 ) => Ca = 1168.37 kg. Say Ca = 1168 kg. Considering 20 mm : 10mm = 0.6 : 0.4 20mm = 701 kg . 10mm = 467 kg . Hence Mix details per m3 Cement = 400 kg Water = 160 kg Fine aggregate = 660 kg Coarse aggregate 20 mm = 701 kg Coarse aggregate 10 mm = 467 kg Admixture = 0.6 % by weight of cement = 2.4 kg. Recron 3S = 900 gm Water: cement: F.A.: C.A. = 0.4: 1: 1.65: 2.92 Observation: A. Mix was cohesive and homogeneous. B. Slump = 110mm C. No. of cube casted = 12 Nos. 7 days average compressive strength = 51.26 MPa. 28 days average compressive strength = 62.96 MPa which is greater than 48.25MPa Hence the mix is accepted.

Mix Design M-50 Grade

Posted in Mix Design | Email This Post The mix design M-50 grade (Using Admixture Sikament) provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors.

Parameters for mix design M50 Grade Designation = M-50 Type of cement = O.P.C-43 grade Brand of cement = Vikram ( Grasim ) Admixture = Sika [Sikament 170 ( H ) ] Fine Aggregate = Zone-II Sp. Gravity Cement = 3.15 Fine Aggregate = 2.61 Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 2.65 Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 2.66 Minimum Cement (As per contract) =400 kg / m3 Maximum water cement ratio (As per contract) = 0.45 Mix Calculation: 1. Target Mean Strength = 50 + ( 5 X 1.65 ) = 58.25 Mpa 2. Selection of water cement ratio:Assume water cement ratio = 0.35 3. Calculation of water: Approximate water content for 20mm max. Size of aggregate = 180 kg /m3 (As per Table No. 5 , IS : 10262 ). As plasticizer is proposed we can reduce water content by 20%. Now water content = 180 X 0.8 = 144 kg /m3 4. Calculation of cement content:Water cement ratio = 0.35 Water content per cum of concrete = 144 kg Cement content = 144/0.35 = 411.4 kg / m3 Say cement content = 412 kg / m3 (As per contract Minimum cement content 400 kg / m3 ) Hence O.K. 5. Calculation for C.A. & F.A.: [ Formula's can be seen in earlier posts]Volume of concrete = 1 m3 Volume of cement = 412 / ( 3.15 X 1000 ) = 0.1308 m3 Volume of water = 144 / ( 1 X 1000 ) = 0.1440 m3 Volume of Admixture = 4.994 / (1.145 X 1000 ) = 0.0043 m3 Total weight of other materials except coarse aggregate = 0.1308 + 0.1440 +0.0043 = 0.2791 m3

Volume of coarse and fine aggregate = 1 0.2791 = 0.7209 m3 Volume of F.A. = 0.7209 X 0.33 = 0.2379 m3 (Assuming 33% by volume of total aggregate ) Volume of C.A. = 0.7209 0.2379 = 0.4830 m3 Therefore weight of F.A. = 0.2379 X 2.61 X 1000 = 620.919 kg/ m3 Say weight of F.A. = 621 kg/ m3 Therefore weight of C.A. = 0.4830 X 2.655 X 1000 = 1282.365 kg/ m3 Say weight of C.A. = 1284 kg/ m3 Considering 20 mm: 10mm = 0.55: 0.45 20mm = 706 kg . 10mm = 578 kg . Hence Mix details per m3 Increasing cement, water, admixture by 2.5% for this trial Cement = 412 X 1.025 = 422 kg Water = 144 X 1.025 = 147.6 kg Fine aggregate = 621 kg Coarse aggregate 20 mm = 706 kg Coarse aggregate 10 mm = 578 kg Admixture = 1.2 % by weight of cement = 5.064 kg. Water: cement: F.A.: C.A. = 0.35: 1: 1.472: 3.043 Observation: A. Mix was cohesive and homogeneous. B. Slump = 120 mm C. No. of cube casted = 9 Nos. 7 days average compressive strength = 52.07 MPa. 28 days average compressive strength = 62.52 MPa which is greater than 58.25MPa Hence the mix accepted.
