A-3 TARGET MEAN STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPORTIONING

f'ck = fck + 1.65 s
Where:

fck = Charecteristic Compressive Strength at 28 : 25 MPA

days
s = Standard Deviation : 5 MPA
Therefore f'ck = Target average compressive : 33.25 MPa
strength at 28 days

A-4 SELECTION OF WATER-CEMENT RATIO

From Table 5 of IS:456, Maxiumu Water-Cement : 0.55
Ratio

From Graph Water - Cement Ratio : 0.5

Finalised Water-Cement Ratio (Lesser of two) 0.54

A-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT

From Table-2, Maximum water content for = 186 L
20mm aggregate
Estimated water content for 100mm slump = 0
 Estimated reduction in water content due to use = 0%
of super plasticizers
Computed reduction in water content after = 0.00
parctical trials

Finalized water content = 186 Ltr

A-6 CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT

Water-Cement Ratio = 0.5

Cement Content = 372 Kg/m3

Exposure Condition : MILD

From Table-5 of IS:456, minimum cement if less than calculated Cement cont
= 300 Kg/m3
content for the given exposure condition Ok or review

A-7 PROPORTION OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE

MAS = 30

Zone of FA II

Max Water-Cement Ratio 0.55

From Table - 3, Volume of Coarse Aggregate

corresponding to above MAS and Zone of FA as = 0.66
above anf for W/C as above

Finalized water- Cement Ratio = 0.5

Difference between max to finalized W/C Ratio = 0.05

The rate of change of aggregate content is ±0.01 for every ±0.05 change in water-cement r
Correceted proportion of volume of coarse Note:-In Case of coarse aggregate is not angularo
= 0.65
aggregate for the finalized water-cement ratio aggregate may be required to be increased suitab

Concrete is pumpable = NO

Therefore finalized volume of CA = 0.65

Volume of FA = 0.35

A-8 MIX CALCULATIONS

a) volume of Concrete = 1 Cum
 b) Volume of Cement = Mass of Cement
x
Specific Gravity of Cement
= 0.128 m3

c) Volume of Water = Mass of Water

x
Specific Gravity of Water
= 0.186 m3

d) Volume of Chemical Admixture = Mass of Admixture

x
Specific Gravity of
Admixture
= 0 m3

e) Volume of all in Aggregate = [a-(b+c+d)]

0.686 m3

f) Mass of Coarse Aggregate = e) x Volume of CA x Sp. Gravity of CA x 1000

= 1226 Kg

g) Mass of Fine Aggregate = e) x Volume of FA x Sp. Gravity of FA x 1000

636 Kg

A-9 MIX PROPORTION FOR TRIAL

CEMENT = 372 Kg/m3
WATER = 186 Kg/m3
FINE AGGREGATE = 636 Kg/m3
COARSE AGGREGATE = 1226 Kg/m3
CHEMICAL ADMIXTURE = N/A Kg/m3
