I. Stipulations For Proportioning of M35 Grade Concrete: Table 5-IS456
This section deals with conditions and requirements of the concrete to be made.
Maximum Nominal
D 20mm
Size of Aggregate
Partial replacement
G 30% as per requirement
of cement by Fly ash
I Workability 100mm
Materials should be tested in the laboratory as per tests given in the codebook and
their properties should be found. Values of the material properties will be used in the
design process and to check the quality of the material with the help of codebook
standards. Standard values are taken here for calculation purpose.

Table 4-IS383
Strength of the concrete may deviate slightly depends on the quality of the material,
method of mixing and construction practices. Hence target strength (F ck) should be
higher than the required strength of the concrete (f ck). Value of standard deviation(s)
for different grade of concrete is given in Table 1 of IS456.
Fck = 35+1.65×5
The maximum water-cement ratio for different grade of concrete is given in Table 5-
IS456. You can reduce the water-cement ratio based on your requirements. Water-
cement ratio directly affects the strength of the concrete.
Above water-content is for 25 to 50mm slump but the slump we require is 100mm.
hence we need to increase the water content to get the required slump for good
workability. Clause 4.2 of IS1026 suggests an increase of 3% of water content from
its original value for every increase of 25mm. Here we have a 50mm increase in the
water content hence we have to increase the water content by 6 %.
=197.16 L
Since superplasticizers are used water content can be reduced to get good strength
of concrete. Percentage of reduction of water depends on the type of
superplasticizers used in the concrete.
=157.73
Total Cementitious (Cement +Fly ash) requirement = Water Content / WaterCement ratio
=160/0.45
=355.55 kg
Since Fly ash is used the amount of Cementitious content (Cement+Fly ash) shall be
increased to get good workability and strength. the percentage of increase
depending on experience and research. Here we increased the cementitious content
by 1.1 %.
Final Cementitious
= 356*1.1
Content (Cement+Fly ash)
=391.6 kg
= 117.48 ~ 118 kg
Cement Content requirement =Cementious content – Fly ash
=391.6-117.48
= 274.12
Table3-IS10262
Coarse Aggregate ratio = 0.62
(For W/C =0.5)
= 275/(3.15*1000)
= 0.087 cu.m
= 118/(2.5*1000)
= 0.041 cu.m
= 160/(1*1000)
= 0.160 cu.m
= 2.35/(1.12*1000)
= 0.002 cu.m
=1 -(0.087 +0.041+0.160+0.002)
=0.71 cu.m
= 1225.6 kg
= 0.71*0.37*2.74 *1000

concrete
1 Cement 275 kg
2 Flyash 118 kg
5 WATER 160 L
To find the design mix ratio divide the calculated value of all materials by the weight
of cement. Therefore Mix Ratio of M35 Grade concrete by weight is Cement :
Flyash: F.A : C.A : Water = 1:0.4:2.6:4.46:0.58
