    This document provides a concrete mix design for M60 grade concrete using OPC 53 grade cement. It includes the design stipulations, test data for ingredients, and quantities of ingredients. The mix design aims for a 28-day characteristic compressive strength of 60 N/mm2. The mix proportions are 0.24 water-to-cement ratio, 1.06 coarse aggregates-to-cement ratio, and 0.30 fine aggregates-to-cement ratio. Testing of cubes made from this mix design achieved compressive strengths of 40.98 N/mm2 at 3 days and 70.96 N/mm2 at 28 days.

    Concrete mix design M60 grade of concrete provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors. A. Design Stipulation: Charastaristic comprehensive Strength @ 28 days = 60 N/mm2 Maximum size of aggregate = 20 mm Degree of workability = Collapsible Degree of quality control = Good Type of exposure = Severe Minimum cement content as per is 456-2000 B. Test data for concrete ingredients Specific gravity of cement = 3.15 Specific gravity of fly ash = 2.24 Specific gravity of microsilica = 2.21 Setting time of cement initial = 120 min, final = 185 min Cement compressive strength = 45.21 N/mm2 @ 3 days 54.82 N/mm2 @ 7 days 69.32 N/mm2 @ 28 days Specific gravity of coarse aggregates (ca) and fine aggregates (fa) 20 mm 2.729 10 mm 2.747 R/sand 2.751 C/sand 2.697 Water absorption 20 mm 1.540, 10mm 1.780, R/sand 3.780, C/sand 4.490 Characterstic strength @ 28 days 60 N/mm2 Target mean strength : Depend upon degree of quality control good and considering (std. Dev.As 5 N/mm2) Characteristic strength given by the relation 60 +(1.65 *5 ) = 68.25 N/mm2 C. Quantities of ingredients ( by absolute volume Method ) Actual cement used = 450 kg/cum Actual fly ash used = 80 kg/cum Actual microsilica used = 40 kg/cum

    W/C fixed = 0.24 Absolute volume of cement = 0.143 Absolute volume of air = 0.02 Absolute vol of water. = 0.137 Absolute vol of fly ash. = 0.036 Absolute vol of microsilica = 0.018 Total volume of CA and FA used = 1.00-(0.143+0.036+0.018+0.02 +0.137) = 0.619 Cum D. Aggregate percent used. 20 Mm = 31, 10 mm = 25, r/sand = 34, c/sand = 10 (2.729*0.31) + (2.747*0.25) +(2.751* 0.34 )+(2.697*0.10) *0.619*1000 546+444+604+174=1768 Aggt: cement = 3.10 : 1 Mix proportion = 0.24:1:1.06:0.30:0.78:0.96 E. Abstract: 20 mm 546 kg/cum 10 mm 444 kg/cum r/sand 604 kg /cum c/sand 174 kg/cum water 137 kg/cum Admixture 1.80 % By wt of (C+F+MS) chemsonite SP 450XL-B Cube Compressive Strength (N/mm2) 3 days = 40.98 7 Days = 57.71 28 Days = 70.96 Note: Mix design is same for crane bucket and pump concrete only admixture dosage will fine tuned by 0.10%.
