CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

1. SCOPE:-
Select suitable ingredient and determine their relative proportion with the
objective of producing concrete of certain minimum strength and durability as
economically possible

2. MATERIALS:-
Following materials were used.

MATERIAL PROPERTY CEMENT FA CA

Bulk Specific Gravity 3.15 8.7 2.75
Bulk Density ( lb/ft3) 196.56 168.48 171.6
Dry Rodded Density( lb/ft3) - - 103
Fineness Modulus - 2.6 -
Moisture Deviation - +3 -1

RESULT:-

a. SSD = 384
b. Exposure class = F2
c. Aggregate Size = ½”
d. Slump = 2”
e. 28 Day f’c = 5000 psi
f. Non Air Entrained concrete

MATERIAL SSD(lb/yd3) MOISTURE CORRECTION TRIAL

BATCH(lb)
Cement 745 - 745
FA 1338 1338x0.03=40 1378
CA 1585 1585x0.01=16 1569
Water 335 335+16-40=313 313
Total 4003 - 4003
DISCUSSION:-

The trial Batch Should yield result with following limit.

a. Slump = +-1/2”
b. Air Content = +-0.5%
c. Avg f’c must be equal to or greater than fcr’
