Subject. :- Concrete Mix- Design: Grade M-20 (IS 10262-2009)

Ref. :- 1) Your letter no. NIL Dated: 11/10/2022
2 ) This Office receipt no - 2628784 Dated 07/11/2022
Concrete Mix- Design: Grade M-20 (IS 10262-2009)
a) Type of cement : : Dalmia OPC (43 Grade)
b) Maximum size of aggregate : 20 mm
c) Exposure Condition : Severe
d) Workability : 100-150 mm slump.
e) Maximum W/C ratio : 0.55 :0.5
f) Method of placing concrete : Non-pump
g) Degree of supervision : Good.
h) Type of aggregate : Crushed angular aggregate.
i) Sp.Gr. of coarse aggregate : 3.18
j) Sp. Gr. Of fine aggregate : 2.71
k) Water absorption i) Coarse aggregate : 0.55 percent
ii) Fine aggregate : 0.63 percent.

l) Grading of coarse aggregate conforming to Table 2 of IS 383

m) Grading of fine aggregate conforming to grading zone II

Step wise procedure

2
a) Characteristic strength : fck = 20 N/mm
Target Mean strength: f’ck = fck + 1.65 X S
S= 4
Target Mean strength: f’ck = 26.6 N/mm2
b) Water/ Cement Ratio : 0.55 ( as per table 5 of IS 456 with
Therefore proportion of coarse aggregate : 0.62 (for 0.55 WC ratio)
c) Selection of Water Content. :197 litres.
( for 20 mm size aggregate, 100 mm slump increase 3% for each 25 mm increase slump)
d) Calculation of Cement Content =197/ 0.55 = 358.18

= 359 kg/m
e) Estimation of coarse and fine aggregate :
Volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine
 Therefore proportion of coarse aggregate : 0.62(for 0.55 WC ratio)
Corresponding Proportion of fine aggregate : 0.38

f) Calculation of Mix Proportions

i) Volume of concrete : 1 m
ii) Volume of cement = Mass of cement
Sp. Gr. of cement X 1000
= __ 359______
3.15 X 1000

= 0.1139 m

iii) Volume of water = 0.197 m
iv) Total aggregates = 1- ( 0.1139 + 0.197 )
= 0.6891
v) Mass of coarse aggregates = 0.6891*0.62*3.18*1000
= 1359 kg
Mass of 10 mm C.A ( 40 % of C.A) = 544 kg
Mass of 20 mm C.A ( 60 % of C.A) = 815 kg
vi) Mass of fine aggregate = 0.6891*0.38*2.71*1000
=710 kg
