Introduction
During ground shaking there can be

Loss of grip on beam bars. Cracking and crushing of concrete.

Tests to be performed before calculations

1. 2. 3.

Sieve Analysis for sand and coarse aggregate Specific gravity of sand Bulk density of coarse aggregate

Sand
To find fineness modulus

Coarse aggregate
To find aggregate of size "

It refers to the degree of coarseness lower value ----- finer sand (less porous concrete) higher value ----- coarser sand (more porous concrete)

Purpose:
Used to find vol. of coarse agg in mix design of concrete

Sieve no.

Fineness Modulus = sum of cumulative % retained = 246.2 100 100 = 2.5

PURPOSE:
It is done to find out coarse agg. of size

Procedure:
Pass coarse agg of different sizes from sieve until we get 95% of agg retained on it.

Purpose:
Proportioning of cement, sand, crush and water

Required Strength -------- 2000Psi Design Strength -------- 3000Psi

Calculations:

Step-1 Weight of water = 315 lb/yd3

Calculations:

Step-2 Wt. of Cement = wt. of water = 463.24 lb/yd3 W/C ratio

Calculations:

Step-3 Wt. of Coarse agg. = vol. of agg x bulk density = 0.65 x 91.69 lb/ft3 x 27 ft3/yd3
= 1609.15 lb/yd3

Slump Compressive strength

Excel file

Purpose:

Consistency Workability

Workability

A good mix design must be capable of being placed and compacted, with minimal bleeding and segregation, and be finishable.

Consistency

Consistency indicates amount of water used in the mix. Or it indicates the water cement ratio.

Segregation of aggregates

Porous Concrete

Pouring of concrete Layers of 7.5 cm depth. Each layer is rammed 25 times. After few minutes mould is lifted. The extent by which the concrete drops is called the slump.
