American Method Of Mix Design (

ACI 2 11 .1-70 )

Given :
Compressive Strength = 60 Mpa -
Specific Gravity Of Cement = 3.15 -
Specific Gravity Of Fine Aggregate = 2.6 -
Specific Gravity Of Course Aggregate = 2.65 -
Dry Rodded Bulk Density Of ( F . A ) = 1726 kg/m2 -
Dry Rodded Bulk Density Of ( C . A ) = 1638 kg/m2 -

Steps Of Design :
Step 1 -
fcu = ( fc + 1400 )/0.9 -
fcu = 11000 -
From Table 4.3.2
Max Size Of Aggregate Used = 12.5 mm.

Step 2

Assume slump from 30 to 50mm

From Table 4.3.4
Mixing Water Require = 200 kg/m3
Entrapped Air Content = 2.5%
Step 3

From Chart
W/C = 0.35
Step 4

From Table 4.3.3

Weight Of Course Aggregate = 0.68 * 1638 = 1113.84 kg/m3.
Weight Of Cement = 200/0.35 = 572 kg/m3.

Compressive Strength Plasticizer/Cement

( Mpa ) ratio
40 50 1 1.5

50 - 60 1.5 - 2

60 - 70 2 2.5

< 70 2.5 - 3

From Table 60Mpa ___ 2%

Weight Of Plasticizer = 0.02 * 572 = 11.44 kg/m3
Step 5
Weight Of Water = 200 11.44 = 188.56 kg/m3

Step 6
Cement Content = 572/3.15*1000 = 0.1815 m3
Course Agg Content = 1113.84/2.65*1000 = 0.420 m3
Water Content = 188.56/1000 = 0.18856 m3
Entrapped Air Content = 2.5/100 = 0.025 m3
Plasticizer Content = 11.44/1.15*1000 = 0.01 m3
Total Of Volume = 0.82506 m3

Fine Agg Content = 1- 0.82506 = 0.17494 m3

Weight Of Fine Agg = 0.17494*2.6*1000 = 454.844 kg/m3

Step 7
Cement = 572 kg/m3
Course Agg = 1113.84 kg/m3
Fine Agg = 454.844 kg/m3
Water = 188.56 kg/m3
Plasticizers = 11.44 kg/m3

Density Of Concrete = 2340.684 kg/m3
