This document outlines the steps to design an M20 concrete mix with a target compressive strength of 26.6 N/mm2 and water-cement ratio of 0.5. It involves selecting the water content based on aggregate size and adjusting for workability, then calculating the cement, sand, and coarse aggregate contents required to achieve the design ratios. The mix is then validated by recalculating the water-cement ratio.

MIX DESIGN FOR M20 1)Character strength
2)Degree of workability 3)Max size of aggregate 4)standard deviation 5)degree of quality control 6)type of exposure 25N/mm 0.9 20mm(angular) 4(from code) good moderate
DESIGN Step 1: Target mean strength FCK=fck+(t*s) =20+1.65*4 =26.6 N/mm2 Step 2: Selection of water cement ratio w/c=0.5 step 3 : Air content Air content:5+1(volume content) SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT AND FIND TOTAL AGGREGATE RATIO Aggregate size Water/cum.mt of concrete Sand % (max=0.55)
20 Change condition 1.Increase by workability=0.1 2.Decrease in W/C by 2*0.05
186 Water cement +3% 0
35 % of sand -(1*2) -2%
weight of water required =180+3/100*186 =191.58 kg Sand %by volume =35-2 =33% Step 5 CALCULATION OF CEMENT REQUIRED W/C=0.5 Water=191.58kg Cement=191.58/0.5=383kg/m3 Step 6 CALCLATION OF AGGREGATE CONTENT V=[W+C/SC+1/P*fa/sfa]*1/1000 []=[] Step7: CALCULATION OF COARSE AGGREGATE V=[W+C/SC+1/(1-P)*Ca/Sca]*1/1000
