    This lab report details the design of a concrete mix with a specified compressive strength of 30 N/mm2. Testing was done on the cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate to determine their properties. The target mean strength was calculated to be 39.9 N/mm2. A water-cement ratio of 0.47 was selected. The water content was determined to be 188.79 l/m3 and sand content as 32.4% of total aggregate. Cement content was calculated to be 402 kg/m3. Coarse and fine aggregate contents were determined to be 1143.59 kg/m3 and 594.39 kg/m3 respectively. Actual quantities of materials needed per 50 kg

    3. TARGET MEAN STRENGTH OF CONCRETE
    For a tolerance factor of 1.65 and using table 1 of IS 10262:1982, the target mean
    strength of specified characteristic cube strength is 30 + (6 X 1.65) = 39.9 N/mm2

    4. SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO


    Let us assume we use ‘Type C’ cement. From ‘Fig 2’, the free water-cement
    ratio required for the target mean strength of 39.9 N/mm2 is 0.37. But based on
    experience we choose a water-cement ratio of 0.47.

    5. SELECTION OF WATER AND SAND CONTENT


    From Table 4 of IS 10262:1982, for 20 mm nominal maximum size aggregate
    and sand conforming to Zone II, water content per cubic meter of concrete = 186
    Kg and sand content as percentage of total aggregate by absolute volume = 35%
    For change in values in water-cement ratio, compacting factor and sand
    belonging to Zone II, the following adjustment is required
    Change in condition Adjustment required
    % sand in total
    Water content %
    aggregate
    For decrease in water-cement ratio by
    0 - 2.6
    (0.60 – 0.47) that is 0.13
    For increase in compacting factor by
    + 1.5 0
    (0.85 – 0.80) that is 0.05
    For sand conforming to Zone II 0 0
    Total + 1.5 - 2.6

    Therefore, required sand content as percentage of total aggregate by absolute


    volume = 35.0 – 2.6 = 32.4 %
    186 𝑥 1.5
    And, required water content = 186 + = 188.79 l/m3
    100

    31
    6. DETERMINATION OF CEMENT CONTENT
    Water – cement ratio = 0.47
    Water = 188.79 l/m3
    188.79
    Cement = = 401.68 Kg/m3 = 402 Kg/m3 (appox.)
    0.47
    According to cement content water content will be = (402 X 0.47) = 189 l/m3

    7. DETERMINATION OF COARSE AND FINE AGGREGATE


    CONTENT
    From Table 3 of IS 10262:1982, for specified maximum size of aggregate of 20
    mm, the amount of entrapped air in the wet concrete is 2%.
    Taking this into account and applying the equations from clause no 3.5.1
    402 1 𝑓𝑎 1
    0.98 = (189 + + 𝑋 )X
    2.87 0.324 2.67 1000
    or, fa = 594.39 Kg/m3
    402 1 𝐶𝑎 1
    0.98 = (189 + + 𝑋 )X
    2.87 1−0.324 2.87 1000
    or, Ca = 1143.59 Kg/m3
    The mix proportion then becomes:
    Fine Coarse
    Water Cement
    Aggregate Aggregate
    For 1 m3
    189 l 402 Kg 594.39 Kg 1143.59 Kg
    concrete
    Ratio 0.47 1 1.5 2.8
    For 0.025 m3
    4.73 l 10.05 Kg 14.86 Kg 28.58 Kg
    concrete

    32
    8. ACTUAL QUANTITIES REQUIRED FOR MIX PER BAG OF
    CEMENT
    The mix is 0.47 : 1 : 1.5 : 2.8 (by mass). For 50 Kg of cement, the quantities of
    materials are worked out as below:
    i) Cement = 50 Kg
    ii) Sand = 75 Kg
    iii) Coarse Aggregate = 140 Kg
    a) Fraction I = 42 Kg
    b) Fraction II = 98 Kg
    iv) Water
    a) For water-cement ratio of 0.47 quantity of water = 23.5 litres
    b) Extra quantity of water to be added for absorption in case of coarse
    (0.5−2.2)𝑋150
    aggregate, at 2.23 percent by mass = = 2.55 litres
    100
    c) Extra quantity of water to be added for absorption in case of fine
    (0.5−1.0)𝑋150
    aggregate, at 1.0 percent by mass = = 0.75 litres
    100
    d) Actual quantity of water to be added = (23.5+2.55+0.75) = 26.8 litres
    v) Actual quantity of sand required = (75 – 0.75) = 74.25 Kg
    vi) Actual quantity of coarse aggregate required
    a) Fraction I = (42 – 0.77) = 41.23 Kg
    b) Fraction II = (98 – 1.78) = 96.22 Kg
    Therefore, the actual quantities for different constituents required for the mix
    are:
    Water : 26.8 litres
    Cement : 50 Kg
    Sand : 74.25 Kg
    Coarse Aggregate: Fraction I : 41.23 Kg
    Fraction II : 96.22 Kg
