Mix Design for Concrete Grade = M 42

C1.Design stipulation:
i Characteristic Compressive strength = 42 N/mm2
ii Maximum size of aggregate = 15 mm
iii Degree of workability = 0.55
iv Degree of quality = Good
v Type of Exposure = Mild

C2. Test data for materials

(i) Cement used = PPC
(ii) Specific gravity of Cement = 3.15
(iii) Specific gravity
Fine Aggregate = 2.75
Coarse Aggregate = 2.8
(iv) Water absorption
Fine Aggregate = 1 %
Coarse Aggregate = 2 %
(v) Free Surface Moisture
Fine Aggregate = 0 %
Coarse Aggregate = Nil %
(vi)
Fine Aggregate confirming the table 4,
383- Zone
IS = 3 Zone

C3.Target mean strength

= 42.00 N/mm2

C4. Selection of Water Cement ratio

Water Cement ratio = 0.44 (From fig. 1, Is 10262)

C7. Determination of Fine & Coarse aggregate

Air entrapped in concrete = 2 % (From Table 3, IS 10262)
Actual quantity of concrete "V" = 0.98 Cum
