w/c curve Steps of design

Step 1: f m=f ck+ 1.65σ.

Step 2 : selection of w/c

from curves .

Step 3: Estimate water

content & sand
contents for concrete
grades up to M35 up
M35/ above M35
STEP 3 ADJUSTMENT IN WATER AND SAND
CONTENT

Condition Adjustment

Sand zone 1,3 and 4 (for 2 no No change in water content but

change) sand
-1.5% for zone 3,
1.5 % for zone 1
-3% for zone 4

Increase / decrease of Compaction Water content increased by +_ 3%

factor by 0.1 No change in sand
w/c ratio increased or decreased by No change in water content but +_
0.05 1% in sand content
For round aggregates -15kg/m3 for water and -7% for
sand

PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED

 Some sites are just too far away.

 Generation of road traffic.

 Concrete's limited time span between mixing and going-off

means that ready-mix should be placed within 10 minutes of
batching at the plant.

 Slump loss is also a major issue in RMC which result in a

loss to company as the buyer tends to reject the product.
