d) Speci�c gravity of

1) Coarse aggregate 20mm : 2.67

2) Fine aggregate : 2.65
3) GGBS : 2.84 (JSW)

e) Water absorption:

1) Coarse aggregate : 0.5 %

2) Fine aggregate (M.sand) : 2.5 %

f) Free (surface) moisture:

1) Coarse aggregate : Nil (Absorbed Moisture also Nil)

2) Fine aggregate : Nil

g) Sieve analysis:

1) Coarse aggregate: Conforming to all in aggregates of Table 2 of

IS 383
2) Fine aggregate : Conforming to Grading Zone II of Table 4 of IS
383

A-3 TARGET STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPORTIONING

f’ck =fck + 1.65 s
where
f’ck = target average compressive strength at 28 days,
fck = characteristics compressive strength at 28 days, and
s = standard deviation.

From Table I of IS 10262:2009, Standard Deviation, s = 5 N/mm2.

Therefore, target strength = 40 + 1.65 x 5 = 48.25 N/mm2.

A-4 SELECTION OF WATER•CEMENT RATIO

Adopted maximum water-cement ratio = 0.36

From the Table 5 of IS 456 for Very severe Exposure maximum Water
Cement Ratio is 0.40
0.36 < 0.40 Hence ok. A-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT
From Table 2 of IS 10262:2009, maximum water content for 20 mm
aggregate = 186 litre (for 25 to 50 mm slump range) Estimated water
content for 100 mm slump = 186+ (6/186) = 197 litre.

(Note: If Super plasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced

upto 20% and above.)

Based on trials with Super plasticizer water content reduction of 23%

has been achieved, Hence the arrived water content = 197-[197 x

(23/100)] = 151 litre.

A-6 CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT

Adopted w/c Ratio = 0.36
Cement Content = 151/0.36 = 420 kg/m3
From Table 5 of IS 456, Minimum cement content for ‘Very severe’
exposure conditions 360kg/m3

420 kg/m3 > 360 kg/m3 hence ok.

A-7 PROPORTION OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE

AGGREGATE CONTENT
From Table 3 of (IS 10262:2009) Volume of coarse aggregate
corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and �ne aggregate (Zone II)
for water-cement ratio of 0.50 =0.62 .

In the present case water-cement ratio is 0.44. Therefore, volume of

coarse aggregate is required to be increased to decrease the �ne
aggregate content. As the water-cement ratio is lower by 0.06. The
proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is increased by 0.02 (at the
rate of -/+ 0.01 for every ± 0.05 change in water-cement ratio).

Augers, Buckets, Core

Therefore, corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for

the water-cement ratio of 0.44 = 0.65

NOTE – In case the coarse aggregate is not angular one, then also
volume of coarse aggregate may be required to be increased suitably
based on experience & Site conditions.

For pumpable concrete these values should be reduced up to 10%.

Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate =0.65 x 0.9 =0.585

Volume of �ne aggregate content = 1 – 0.585= 0.415

A-8 MIX CALCULATIONS

Mix design M40 Grade designed as per IS 10262:2009 ... https://www.engineeringcivil.com/mix-design-m40-grad...

The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as follows:

a) Volume of concrete = 1 m3

b) Volume of cement = [Mass of cement] / {[Speci�c Gravity of

Cement] x 1000}
= 420/{3.15 x 1000}
= 0.133 m3

c) Volume of water = [Mass of water] / {[Speci�c Gravity of water] x

1000}
= 151/{1 x 1000}
= 0.151m3

d) Volume of chemical admixture = 1.89 litres/ m3 (By Trial and Error

Method used 0.4% by the weight cement)

e) Volume of all in aggregate = [a-(b+c+d)]

= [1-(0.133+ 0.151+ 0.0045)]
= 0.7115 m3

f) Mass of coarse aggregate= e x Volume of Coarse Aggregate x

Speci�c Gravity of Fine Aggregate x 1000
= 0.7115x 0.585 x 2.67 x 1000
= 1111 kg/m3

g) Mass of �ne aggregate= e x Volume of Fine Aggregate x Speci�c

Gravity of Fine Aggregate x 1000
= 0.7115 x 0.415 x 2.60 x 1000
= 768 kg/m3

A-9 MIX PROPORTIONS

Cement = 336 kg/m3
GGBS = 84 kg/m3 (20% By Total weight of Cement)
Water = 151 l/m3
Fine aggregate = 768 kg/m3
Coarse aggregate 20mm = 889 kg/m3
12mm = 222 kg/m3 (20% By Total weight of Coarse Aggregate)
Chemical admixture = 1.89 kg/m3 (0.4% by the weight of cement)
Density of concrete = 2451 kg/m3
Water-cement ratio = 0.41
Mix Proportion By weight = 1:1.83:2.65

NOTE – Aggregates should be used in saturated surface dry

condition. If otherwise, when computing the requirement of mixing
water, allowance shall be made for the free (surface) moisture
contributed by the �ne and coarse aggregates. On the other hand, if
the aggregates are dry the amount of mixing water should be
increased by an amount equal to the moisture likely to be absorbed
by the aggregates. Necessary adjustments are also required to be

made In mass of aggregates. The surface water and percent water

absorption of aggregates shall be determined according to IS 2386

A-10 The slump shall he measured and the water content and dosage
of admixture shall be adjusted for achieving the required slump
based on trial , if required. The mix proportions shall he reworked for
the actual water content and checked for durability requirements.

A-11 Two more trials having variation of ± 10 percent of water-

cement ratio in A-10 shall be carried out and a graph between three
water-cement ratios and their corresponding strengths shall he
plotted to work out the mix proportions for the given target strength
for �eld trials. However, durability requirement shall be met.

We are thankful to G. Prabhakaran for sharing this information with

us on engineeringcivil.com. We hope this would be of great
signi�cance to civil engineers seeking information on M40 design mix
in Bangalore region.
