Mix Design Data for masonry grout as per ASTM C476

Data

Quantity of grout mix - 1 Cubic meter

Grout mix Ratio - 1: 2.5 (Cement 1 parts and Sand 2.5

Parts).

Consider W/C Ratio - 0.45

Cement - Type –I as per ASTM C150

Sand - As per As per ASTM C117/136

Mixing water - Not more than 500 PPM.

Unit wt of cement - 1440 Kg/m³

Compressive strength - 2000 psi or 14MPA

Slump - 203mm to 280mm

Quantity of cement required per cubic meter wet Masonry Grout Mix

Quantity of cement = (Dry volume of grout mix X cement Ratio)/(Sum of

Grout mix Ratio)

= ((1.30X1) X 1)/1+2.5

= 0.371 M³

Qty of cement in kg = 0.371X1440

= 535 Kg.

Quantity of Sand required per cubic meter wet Masonry Grout Mix

Quantity of sand = 0.371 X 2.5

= 0.928 M³

Quantity of sand in CFT = 0.928X35.315

= 32.77 CFT.

Quantity of Water required per cubic meter wet Masonry Grout Mix

Consider W/C Ratio - 0.7

Quantity of water in liter = 0.7 X 535

= 375 Liter.

Result for 1m³ Masonry Grout

Cement - 535kg

Sand - 32.77 CFT.

Water - 375 Liter
