MIX DESIGN CALCULATION FOR M20A20 Assumption: Degree of quality control Type of exposure Degree of workability Sp gravity of cement Data from test result: Sp gravity of 20mm stone chips Water absorption of 20mm stone chips Sp gravity of 10mm stone chips Water absorption of 10mm stone chips Sp gravity of sand Water absorption of sand Sand conforming to Calculation: Characteristic compressive strength = 20 N/mm2 Target mean strength = (20+1.65x4.6) N/mm2 = 27.59 N/mm2 Standard deviation = 4.6 as per table 1, IS 10262 Tolerance factor = 1.65 (Assumed) From figure 1, IS 10262 Free water-cement ratio for Target mean strength = 0.49 Water content as per table 4 = 186 kg, Sand =35% of total Aggregate. : : : : : : : 2.68 0.5 % 2.67 0.6 % 2.61 1.18 % Zone II : : : : Date: 19/01/2008 Good Mild High 3.15

So, cement content = 186/0.49 kg = 379.59 kg , Say 380 kg Maximum water-cement ratio = 0.55 from exposure condition As per table 5, IS: 456:2000. Using 1.0% water reducing admixture , Water content may be reduce by 10%. So , Reduced water content = 186 (186 x 0.10) = 167.4 kg, say168 kg So , Cement Content = (168 / 0.49) = 342.85 kg , Say , 343 kg
