A-3 TARGET STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPORTIONING:

Target Mean Strength, fck’ = fck + 1.65S = 25 + 1.65 x 4 = 31.6 N/mm2

A-4 SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO:

From table 5 of IS456, Maxm. Water cement ratio = 0.5

Hence adopting W/C = 0.5

A-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT:

From table – I, maxm water content for 20mm aggregate = 186 lits. (for 25 to 50mm slump range)

A-6 CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT:

Water Cement ratio = 0.5

Cement content = 186/0.5 = 372Kg/m3
From table 5 of IS456, minimum cement content for moderate exposure condition =300 kg/m3
Here, 322 kg/m3>300 kg/m3; Hence OK.

A-7 PROPORTIONING OF VOLUME OF COURSE AGG. & FINE AGG. CONTENT:

From Table 3, volume of course aggregate Corresponding to 20mm size aggregate and fine aggregate (zone II) for
water cement ratio 0.5 = 0.62
Volume of fine aggregate = 1-0.62 = 0.38

A-8 MIX CALCULATION for Trial no. I:

The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as follows:

a) Volume of concrete = 1m3
mass of cement 1 372 1
b) Volume of cement = x = x = 0.118 m3
sp.gr.of cement 1000 3.15 1000
mass of water 1 186 1
c) Volume of water = x = x = 0.186 m3
sp.gr.of water 1000 1 1000
d) Volume of Aggregate = [a–(b+c)]
= [ 1 – ( 0.118 + 0.186 ) ] = 0.696 m3
e) Mass of Course Agg. = d X Vol. of course agg. X Sp. Gr. of course agg. X 1000
= 0.696 x 0.62 x 2.78 x 1000
= 1199.62 Kg
f) Mass of Fine Agg. = d X Vol. of fine agg. X Sp. Gr. of fine agg. X 1000
= 0.696 x 0.38 x 2.65 x 1000
= 700.87 Kg

A-9 MIX Proportion for Trial no. – I:

Cement = 372 Kg
Water = 186 Kg/m3
Fine Agg. = 700.87 Kg/m3
Course Agg. = 1199.62 Kg/m3
W/c ratio = 0.5

A-10 Observation on Trial Mix – I:

Mix is cohesive and stiff.

The Slump of 35mm is obtained.
Desired Slump = 50mm
Deviation from desired value is 15mm
3
Hence Water Content needs to be increased by + X 15 = 1.8%
25
New Water Content = 186 X 1.018 = 189.35 Kg
189.35

Cement content (w/c unchanged) = 0.5

= 378.6 Kg ( >300 Kg, Hence ok)
