A-4 SELECTION OF WATER-CEMENT RATIO

Maximum Water Cement Ratio = 0.400

0.400>0.390 ok

Based on Experience, adopt Water Cement Ratio = 0.390

A-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT

From Table-2 IS 10262:2009, Maximum water content for 20 mm aggregate = 186 Kg. / M3 (for 25 to 50mm Slump)

Estimated Water Content 150mm Slump = 208.32 Kg. / M3

As High Range water reducing and retarding admixture is used, water content can be reduced up to 30 percent

Based on trial with High Range water reducing and retarding admixture water content rduction of . 21.14 ٪ has been achived

Hence the arrived water content =

= { 208.32 – ( 208.32 × 21.1 ٪) }

kg / m 3
= 163.74

A-6 CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT

Water- cement ratio

= 0.390
water content / Water-Cement ratio
Cement content
=

kg / m 3 kg/m3
= 419.85 Say = 420

Minimum cement content = Kg/m3Kg/m3 kg / m 3 Hence, O.K

400 < 420
A-7 PROPORTION OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE CONTENT

From Table 3 IS 10262 :2009 , Volumeof coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate Zone II =0.62

(from IS : 10262 - 2009 (4.4.1) if Concrete placing through pump the coarse aggregate may be
Therefore Volume of Coarse Aggregates = 0.62
reduced upto 10 %))
Volume of Fine Aggregates
= 0.38
