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 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.

size aggregate is 0.68m3 Weight of C.A = 0.68*1638 = 1108.13 Kg/m3 Step-2 Calculation for Quantity of Water: From ACI 211.4R Table 4.3.4 Assuming Slump as 50 to 75mm and for C.A size 12.5 mm the Mixing water = 148 ml Void content of FA for this mixing water = 35% Void content of FA (V) V = {1-(Dry Rodded unit wt / specific gravity of FA*1000)}*100 = [1-(1726/2.6*1000)]*100 = 34.62% Adjustment in mixing water = (V-35)* 4.55 = (34.62 35)*4.55 = -1.725 ml Total water required = 148 + (-1.725) = 146.28 ml Step-3 Calculation for weight of cement From ACI 211.4R Table 4.3.5(b) Take W / C ratio = 0.29 Weight of cement = 146.28 / 0.29 = 504.21 kg/m3 Step-4 Calculation for weight of Fine Aggregate: Cement = 504.21 / 3.15*1000= 0.1616 Water = 146.28 / 1*1000= 0.1462 CA = 1108.13 / 3*1000= 0.3690 Entrapped Air = 2 / 100= 0.020 Total = 0.7376m3 Volume of Fine Aggregate= 1-0.7376 Weight of Fine Aggregate= 0.2624*2.6*1000= 683.24 kg/m3 Step-5 Super plasticizer: For 0.8% = (0.8 / 100)*583.53 = 4.668 ml Step-6 Correction for water: Weight of water (For 0.8%) =146.28 4.668 =141.61 kg/m3 Requirement of materials per Cubic meter Cement = 504.21 Kg/m3 Fine Aggregate = 683.24 Kg/m3 Coarse Aggregate = 1108.13 Kg/m3

Water = 141.61 Kg/ m3 Super plasticizers = 4.6681 / m3 So the final ratio becomes Cement : Fine agg (kg/m3) : Coarse agg (kg/m3) : Water (l/m3): Superplasticizer (l/m3) 1: 1.35 :2.19 :0.29 :0.8
