Analysis of Trial Mix Design for Class'A' Concrete
Concrete Grade = Class'A' (C-25)
Slump (consistency) = 25-75 mm
Sand bulk specific gravity = 2.58
Sand saturated surface dry density (SSD) = 2.64
Sand unit weight (loose) = 1510kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(20) bulk specific gravity = 2.73
Coarse Aggregate(20) saturated surface dry dens. (SSD) = 2.78
Coarse Aggregate(20) unit weight(Loose) = 1480kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(10) bulk specific gravity = 2.72
Coarse Aggregate(10) unit weight(Loose) = 1470kg/m3
Usual specific gravity of cement = 3.15
From maximum water-cement ratio Let as take = 0.50
Let we use a Maple- Leaf Cement of 460kg for 1m3 of concrete
Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate(Sand)
Coarse Aggregate(20mm size) = 64%
Coarse Aggregate(10mm size) = 36%
Estimate of Water Content
Water Cement Ratio = 0.50
Water = 0.50
460kg of cement
Then approximate water content = 0.50*460 = 230Lt
Density of water = 1000kg/m3
water content by volume = 230/1000 = 0.230m3(for 1m3 of concrete)
Estimate of Cement Content
specific gravity of cement = 3.15
Cement content by volume = mass of cement = .
Density of cement
460kg =0.146m3(for 1m3 of concrete)
3.15*1000
Total volume of water and cement for 1m3 of concrete = 0.376m3

Estimate of Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate(Sand) content
Total Volme of Fine aggregate(sand0 = Mass of sand ------------------------1
Density of sand
Total Volume of Coarse Agg(20mm) = Mass of Coarse Agg(20) -----------------------2
Density of Coarse Agg(20)
Volume of Coarse Agg(10mm) = Mass of Coarse Agg(10) ------------------------3
Density of Coarse Agg(10)
To meet the required 1m3 of mix proportion we remain 0.632m3 of ingredients
That is, volume of Sand + volume of coarse Agg(20) + volume of coarse Agg(10) = 0.624m3
Here, the assumption is made that the optimum ratio of the bulk volume of coarse aggrgate to the total volume of
concrete depends on only on the maximum size of aggregate and on the grading of fine.
So, let as take the total contents of Coarse Aggregate = 1080kg
But we are going to use blended coarse aggregate of 64% from Agg(20mm) and 36% from Agg(10mm)
Hence we have to use, 690kg of 20mm size and 390kg of 10mm size to produce 1m3 of concrete
To calculate the mass of Fine Aggregate(Sand) we need first to
calculate the volume of all other ingredients
The required values are as follows:-
Volume of water = 0.230m3
Volume of cement = 0.146m3
from equation(2&3) :-
Solid volume of Coarse Agg(20mm) = 690/(2.78*1000) = 0.248m3
Solid volume of Coarse Agg(10mm) = 390/(2.72*1000) = 0.143m3
Hence, total volume of ingredients except Fine Aggregate(Sand) = 0.768m3
Therefore, the required ingredients of fine Aggregate(sand) = 1 - 0.768 = 0.232m3
Hence, from equation(1),
The required mass of fine Aggregate(Sand) = 0.232*(2.64*1000) = 610.0kg
From the various steps, we can list the estimated mass of each of
the ingredients in kilograms per cubic meter of concrete as follows:-
Cement(OPC Maple-Leaf) = 460.0kg
Fine Aggregate (Sand) = 610.0kg
Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 690.0kg
Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 390.0kg
Approximate water content = 230.0Lt.

Box Size Determination
Box size for sand
Loose unit weight of sand = 1510kg/m3
Volume of sand = Mass of sand = 610.0 = 0.404m3
Density of sand 1510
Hence, the total volume of wet sand to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.404m3
Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-
0.404m3 of sand = for 460kg of cement
X = for 50kg of cement
X = 0.404*50/460 = 0.044m3
Hence, the total volume of sand for one bag (50kg) of cement =0.044m3
V = L*W*H
H H
W W
L
0.044 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.22m (For two boxes H = 0.11m)
Hence, we need two boxes of sand of size(40*50*11cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement
Box size for Coarse Agg(10 & 20mm size)
Loose unit weight of Coarse Agg(20mm) = 1480kg/m3
Volume of Coarse Agg(20mm) = Mass of Corse Agg(20) = 690.0 = 0.466m3
Density of Corse Agg(20) 1480
Hence, the total volume of Corse Agg(20mm) to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.466m3
Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-
0.466m3 of coarse Agg(20) = for 460kg of cement
X = for 50kg of cement
X = 0.466*50/460 = 0.051m3
Hence, the total volume of coarse Agg(20) for one bag (50kg) of cement =0.051m3
V = L*W*H
0.051 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.253m ( For two boxes H = 0.13m)
Hence, we need two boxes of coarse Agg(20) of size(40*50*13cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement
Similarly, by using loose unit weight of Coarse Aggregate (10mm size) = 1470kg/m3,
The total volume of Coarse Agg(10mm) for one bag(50kg) of cement = 0.029m3
then, V = L*W*H
0.029 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.15m
Hence, we need one boxes of coarse Agg(10) of size(40*50*15cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement
For one bag of cement 2 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 11.0 Fine aggregate(Sand)
Page 5 of 12
we need box size of :- 2 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 13.0 Coarse Aggregate(20mm)
1 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 15.0 Coarse Aggregate(10mm)

Estimate of Cement content
460kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
X 0.0424*460 = 19.50kg
Estimate of Fine Aggregate(Sand)
610.0kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424*610.0 = 25.86kg
Estimate of Coarse Aggregate(20mm size)
690.0kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424*690.0 = 29.26kg
Estimate of Coarse Aggregate(10mm size)
390.0kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424*390.0 = 16.54kg
Estimate of approximate water content
230kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
X 0.0424*230= 9.75Lt.
Required ingredients to produce 0.0371m3 of concrete as follows:-
Cement(OPC Maple-Leaf) = 19.50kg
Fine Aggregate(Sand) = 25.86kg
Coarse Aggregate(20) = 29.26kg
Coarse Aggregate(10) = 16.54kg

Approximate water content = 9.75Lt.
