4. TARGET STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPORTIONING
f’ck = f ck + 1.65 S or
f’ck = f ck + X
where f’ck = target mean compressive strength at 28 days, in N/mm2
f ck = characteristic compressive strength at 28 days, in N/mm2
S = standard deviation, in N/mm2
X = factor based on the grade of concrete
f’ck = f ck + 1.65 S
f’ck = 35 + 1.65 (5)
f’ck = 43.25 MPa

3. SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO (W/C)

From IS 456 Table 5
0.32 < 0.5 hence OK

4. VOID CONTENT
Assumed to be 20%
Void = 0.2

5. PASTE VOLUME

Void Content, Paste Volume, % by volume

% by
Volume Well Lightly
Compacted Compacted

15 18 25

20 15 22

25 10 17

30 5 14

From Table,

For Well Compacted = 15%

 Volume of Paste (Vp) = Volume of Cement + Volume of water

Volume of Cement(Vc)=(Weight of Cement(C)/ Specific Gravity x 1000)

Water Volume = (Water Cement Ratio) x Volume of Cement

0.15 = Vc + (W/C)*Vc

0.15 = (C/ (3.15 x 1000))+ 0.32 +(C/(3.15 x 1000))

WEIGHT OF CEMENT = 363.46 kg/m3

WATER CONTENT = 109.03 kg/m3

REQUIRED QTY OF CONCRETE-

6 Cubes = (0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1) x 4

= 0.004 m3

Beam = (0.03 x 0.1 x 0.5) + (0.04 x 0.04 x 0.5) + (0.03 x 0.1 x 0.5)
= 0.0038 m3

Cylinder = (3.142 x (0.1)2 x 0.2)

= 0.00628 m3

Total = 0.01408 m3

❖ Total Required Qty = 0.015 m3

➢ Volume of Cement
Volume of Cement for 1 m3 = (363.46/(3.15 x 1000)) = 0.115 Kg/m3
For Required Volume,
Required Volume of Cement = (0.115 x 0.015) = 0.001725 m3
Total Cement = 3.456 kg
➢ Volume of Water
Volume of Water = (0.32 x 0.0023) = 0.000736 m3
Total water content = 1204 ml
6. VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE:
Volume of C.A. = 1 – (0.18+0.162)
= 0.65 m3
7. MASS OF AGGREGATE= 0.65 x 2.7 x 1000

= 1755 Kg/m3
8. AGGREGATE TO CEMENT RATIO = 1755/363.46 = 4.82
The aggregate to cement ratio should be between 4 to 5, hence OK.

Grading of aggregate :
4.75 mm = 30% of mass of aggregate
10 mm = 20% of mass of aggregate
12 mm = 30% of mass of aggregate
16 mm = 20% of mass of aggregate
9. GGBFS PERCENTAGE
It should be 25% of the cementitious mixture = 1000.1 gm
10. SILICA PERCENTAGE
It is considered about 5% of cementitious mixture = 172.8 gm
11. SUPER-PLASTICIZER
It is taken as 0.8% = 16 ml
12. POLYPROPYLENE FIBRE
It is taken to 500 gms for 1 m3
Total = 5.26 gms
13. COCONUT FIBER (COIR)
We have approximately taken as 5 gms.

 SECTION MODULE OF THE BEAM
S = I/y or
I =Area moment of inertia
y = distance from neutral axis

AREA MOMENT OF INERTIA
