Il. TEST DATA FOR MATERIALS
Values in this section should be based on the laboratory tests. Here,
standard values of different materials are assumed for the mix design of
M20 grade concrete.

Ill. TARGET STRENGTH
Apart from mix design, the strength of the concrete also depends on other
factors like mixing method, climate etc. Hence Target strength (Fei) of
concrete should be more than designed characteristic strength (f.4) for
safety.
Target strength for m20 grade concrete can be found from the formula
given in the codebook.
Fog = = fo +1.658
Standard deviation (S) value for the M20 grade concrete is given in table 1
of 1S10262.

IV. SELECTION OF WATER-CEMENT RATIO
The maximum water-cement ratio for M20 grade concrete can be found
from Table 5-IS456 given above.

You can reduce the water-cement ratio based on your requirements but
remember that Water-cement ratio directly affects the strength of the
concrete.
V. SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT
Maximum water content to get upto 50mm slump in concrete is given in
Table 2 of 1810262.

aggregate.
Table 2 Maximum Water Content per cubic meter ~ IS10262
For aggregate = 20mm, Slump = 50mm
Maximum Water Content = 186 L
But we need a 75mm slump in our concrete as per the specification given
in section 1. Clause 4.2 suggests an increase of 3% of water content in
increase slump by 25mm slump in concrete.
For aggregate = 20mm, Slump = 75mm
hitps:icviind,comim20-grade.concrote-mix-design-is10262latestedtion! mayamnaret, 9:34 PM M20 Grade Concrete Mx Design -IS10262 Latest Eton - Chil RnD
Water-content for 75mm Slump = 186+(0.03*186) As per Clause 4.2
= 191.58L
Adopted Water Content = 190 L
VI. CALCULATION OF CEMENT
Weight of cement can be calculated from the water-cement ratio and the
water content.
Adopted Water Cement Ratio = 0.55
Cement required = Water Content / W-C Ratio
= 190/0.55
= 345.45 kg
Adopted Cement Content = 345 kg
VIl COARSE AND FINE AGGREGATE
Coarse aggregate ratios for different Zones of Fine aggregates are given in
Table 3 of IS10262. These are ratios are valid for 0.5 Water-cement ratio.

But we need C.A ratio for 0.55 water-cement ratio. If the water-cement
ratio increase by 0.05 we need to decrease C.A ratio by 0.01 and vice
versa. Hence we need to subtract 0.01 from the above C.A ratio.

coarse aggregate from the aggregate ratio, cement and water.

Cement, Fine and Coarse Aggregate needed for
M20 grade concrete
Therefore to prepare one cubic meter of m20 grade concrete we need the
following quantities of cement, fine aggregate (sand), coarse
aggregate(stone) and water.

To find the design mix ratio, divide the calculated value of all materials by
the weight of cement. Therefore Mix Design Ratio of M2
0 Grade concrete
by weight is Cement: F.A: C.A: Water = 1: 2.17:3.4:0.55
Note: This is a Design mix ratio by weight which is different from the
Nominal volumetric mix ratio, Read this post to understand the difference
between Nominal Mix and Design
