CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

( DOE METHOD)

CALCULATION OF DOE MIX DESIGN

DATA:
The target mean strength is 37 N/mm2 at 28 days

Slump is 10 - 30 mm

CEMENT:
Ordinary Portland
AGGREGATE TYPE:
Coarse uncrushed, maximum size 10 mm

Fine uncrushed, grading zone 2

Maximum w/c ratio : 0.60

Maximum cement content : 550 kg/m3

Minimum cement content : 300 kg/m3

Step 1: Determining the Water / Cement Ratio

From table 1.1, at the standard water or cement ratio 0.5, the compressive strength for
28 days for Crushed Coarse Aggregate is 47 N/mm2.

Fig. 1.1 : Relationship between cube compressive

strength and free-water cement ratio

From Table 1.1

Compression Strength
is 47 N/mm2
Target Mean Strength
is 37 N/mm2

Water / cement ratio: 0.58

Then, from figure 1.1, the w/c ratio for the target mean strength (37 N/mm 2) is 0.58.
Step 2: Determining the Water Content

From table 1.2, for 10 mm nominal maximum size crushed aggregate, the water content
to give a 10 - 30 mm slump is 205 kg/m3.

Step 3: Determining the Cement Content

To determine the cement content, used the equation below:

From equation, the cement content is 353 kg/m3. So, it is in range between 300 kg/m3
and 550 kg/m3.
Step 4: Determining the Total Aggregate Content
The equation below is used to determine the total of aggregate content.
For each cubic metre of fully compacted fresh concrete :-

Where 3150 kg/m3 is the density of the cement particles and 1000 kg/m 3 is that water
content. Therefore:Total aggregate content (kg/m3) = 2600 x [volume occupied by the aggregate]

The density of the aggregates particles is 2600 kg/m3 according to the density test.
The total aggregate content
=
=

=
2600[1 (353/3150) (205/1000)]
1775.63
1776kg/m3

Step 5: Determining the Fine and Coarse Aggregate Content

Grading limit: Zone 2

From figure 3.3, for a slump of 10 - 30 mm, a w/c ratio of 0.58 and a fine aggregate in
grading zone 1, the proportion of fine aggregate is 45%.
Therefore:
