MIX DESIGN WITH 448 Kg CEMENT FOR M 40 GRADE CONCRETE

FIRST TRIAL WITH W/C RATIO OF 0.45

A) Design Parameters

1 Grade designation

2 Compressive Strength in 28 days fck

3 Maximum Size of Aggregate

4 Minimum Cement Content(Refer table 5 of IS 456-2000)

5 Maximum Cement Content(Refer Cl 8.2.4.2 of IS 456-2000)

6 Degree Of Workability (Refer table 22 of IS SP 23) = Medium

7 Degree of Quality Control

8 Type of Exposure

9 Entrapped air in the aggregate

B) Test Data for Materials

1 Cement Used(Conforming to IS 8112)

2 Specific Gravity of Cement Sc

3 Specific Gravity of Coarse Aggregate(20 & 10 mm) Sca

4 Specific Gravity of Fine Aggregate (River Sand) Zone I Sfa

5 Specific Gravity of water Sw

6 Water Absorption of Coarse Aggregate (20 & 10 mm)

7 Water Absorption of Fine Aggregate (River Sand)

8 Free (surface) moisture

i) Coarse aggregate
 ii) Fine aggregate

9 Impact Value (20mm)

10 Impact Value (10mm)

11 L. A. Value

12 Soundness Test Value

13 Flakiness Index of 20mm

14 Flakiness Index of 10mm

15 Elongation Index of 20mm

16 Elongation Index of 10mm

17 Fineness Modulus of Sand

C) Target mean strength

1 Tolerance factor (Refer table 30 of IS SP 23) K

2 Standard Deviation (Refer table 1 of IS 10262-2009) S

3 Hence target mean strength = fck+KxS

D) WATER CEMENT RATIO

Maximum Water Cement Ratio(Refer table 5 of IS 456-2000)

Adopting Water Cement Ratio for 1st trial mix = w/c

E) WATER CONTENT

1 Water Content for 25 to 50 mm slump (Refer table 2 & Cl 4.2 of IS 10262-2009)

For every 25 mm increase in slump water content to be increased by(Refer Cl 4.2 of IS 10262-2009)

So estimated water cocontent for 100mm slump = 186+0.06x186

F) CEMENT CONTENT CALCULATION

W/C ratio = 0.44

 So Cement content C = 448

G) VOLUME OF COURSE AGGREGATE FOR 0.50 W/C RATIO(per unit volume of concrete)
(Refer table 3 of IS 10262-2009)
Vca = 0.6
Adjustment for variation in w/c ratio = 0.612
(Refer Cl 4.4.1 of IS 10262-2009)

H) VOLUME OF FINE AGGREGATE

Vfa = 0.388

I) MIX CALCULATION

a Volume of Concrete = 1

b Volume of Cement = C/Scx1/1000 = 0.142

c Volume of water = 197.16/1x1/1000 = 0.197

d Volm of all-in agg. Vall 1-(a-b-c) = 0.661

Mass of Coarse aggregate Mca= VallxVcaxScax1000 = 1108.42

Mass of Fine aggregate Mfa= VallxVfaxSfax1000 = 702.72

J) MIX PROPORTION

Cement = 448
Water = 197.16
Fine Aggregate = 702.72
Coarse Aggregate = 1108.42
W/C Ratio = 0.44

K) OBSERVATIONS
