Concrete Mixed Design For C30

This document provides a mix design for a concrete with a target compressive strength of 30 MPa. It specifies the materials used including cement from PCC brand with a specific gravity of 2.9, coarse aggregate from Vietnam with a specific gravity of 2.66, and fine aggregate from Sylhet with a specific gravity of 2.59. The water cement ratio is 0.4. The mix design calculations determine the proportions of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water, and admixture to achieve the target strength.

3. Selection Of W/C Ratio


Maximum w/c ratio as specified in the specification = 0.40
4. Design Calculation

FINE AGGREGATE
(a) Finess modulus of selected Fine Aggregate FM= 2.5
(b) Bulk Specific Gravity as (SSD) Condition F.A = 2.614
COARSE AGGREGATE
(a) Bulk Specific Gravity as (SSD) Condition of C.A = 2.736
3
(B) Unit Weight of Coarse Aggregate = 1646 Kg/m
(C) Maximum size of Coarse aggregate = 20 mm

Step -1 Estimation of water Content 172


CEMENT(P.C.C)
(a) Cement Content = 430 Kg/m3
(b) Water cement ratio = 0.4
(d) Water content = 172 Kg/m3

Air void
(a) Maximum air void in Cement Concrete = 2%

Step -2 Estimation of water Content = 172 Kg/m3


Step -3 Estimation of Coarse Aggregate Content = 0.65 m3/m3
Oven dry Weight of Coarse Aggregate = 1069.9 Kg
% of Admixture .8% Of Cement = 3.48 Kg
Step -4 Estimation of Fine aggregate Content
(Volume method)
Water = 0.172 m3
Cement = 0.148 m3
Coarse aggregate = 0.391 m3
Air void = 0.020 m3
Admixture = 0.003 M3
Total volume = 0.735 m3
Volume of Fine Aggregate = 0.262 m3
Weight of fine aggregate at (SSD) condition = 684.17 Kg

Step -5 The proportion are required to be adjusted For the field condition
Coarse aggregate weight = 1069.9 Kg/m3
Fine aggregate weight = 684.2 Kg/m3
Modified water requirement = 172.0 Kg/m3
Admixture Wt = 3.5 Kg/m3
Total unit weight = 2359.5 Kg/m3
Normal Density Concrete having density is (2150~2500) kg/m3

Step -6 Proportion
Cement F.A C.A WATER Aggregate CA FA
Total-kg
430 684.2 1069.9 172.0 % %
Ratio 1.0 1.59 2.49 0.40 1754.1 61.00 39.00
