 Calculations :-
1 Target Strength for Mis Proportioning

f'ck = fck + 1.6* s 38.25 N/mm2

Where

f'ck = Target Average Compressive strength at 28 Days

fck = Charaterstic Compresive Strength at 28 Days

s = Standard Devation

From Table 1, IS -10262 Standard Deviation is 5 N/mm2

2 Selection of Water Cement Ratio

From Table 5, IS 456, Maximum W/C Ratio 0.45

Adopt Water Cement Ratio 0.45

3 Selection of Water Content

From Table 2, IS -10262, Maximum Water Content 186 kg

Estimated Water Content for required Slump 197.2 kg

Reduction of Water Content due to the shape of aggregate 0 kg

Net Water Content 197.2 kg

Furthur, Percenatge of reduction of Water Content for Admixture 20 %

Thus, Final Water Content for Mix Design 157.7 kg

4 Calculation of Cement Content

Cement Content 351 kg

From Table 5, IS 456, Minimum Cemnet Content for Exposure
Condition 320 kg OK
5 Proportion of Volume of Coarse aggregate
From Table 3, IS 10262, Volume of Coarse aggregate corresponding
to Size of aggregate, Fine aggreagte Zone & for W/C = 0.50
0.60 m3
If Present W/C Ratio less than or morthan than 0.5, the Volume of
Coarse aggregate arrived above need to be adjusted ( @ -/+ 0.01 for
every +/- 0.05 change in W/C Ratio )

Present W/C Ratio 0.45

Volume of Coarse aggregate arrived for W/C Ratio 0.50 m3

Therefore, Corrected Proportion of Volume of Coarse aggregate 0.55 m3

Volume of Fne aggregate 0.45 m3
