3 DESIGN CALCULATIONS :
a) Target mean strength = 52 MPa (As per MORT & H - table 1700-5)
b) Minimum Cement Content and Maximam Water Cement Ratio
As per MORT & H - table 1700-2
Cement Content = 380
Water Cement = 0.40
Based on trails with superplasticizer water cement ratio taken as = 0.38
c) Proportions of Coarse and Fine aggregates
Fine aggregate = 45.0 %
i)Robo Sand 50%+Natural Sand 50% = 45.00 %
Coarse aggregate Proportions 55.00 %
i) 20mm 45 % = 24.75 %
ii)10 mm 55 % = 30.25 %
To get a cohesive mix which falls in the grading limits for 20 mm nominal size of all in aggregate as per I.S 383-2016
e) Cement Content = 400 kg
f) Water Content required 0.38 x 400 = 152 Ltr
