NOTE:- 1) This is mix design under controlled conditions. As per Specifications contractor must construct Trial Stretch and verify
the density of the concrete by adopting Core method.
2) Sampling of ingradients is not done by the Consultants.
3) The aggregates are assumed to be surface dry. If the aggregates are found to have water content, appropriate change
in the moisture content is to be made.

Selection of Water-Cement Ratio

Since different cement and aggregate of different max. size, grading, surface texture, shape
and other characteristic may produce concrete of different relationship between the strength
and the free water-cement ration should actually to be used.From Curve-E of Figure-2 of IS 0.45
10262-1982, the free water-cement ratio for the target strength of 31.60N/mm 2 works out
to 0.5 by interpolation. This value is smaller than 0.65 stated above, hence it is selected for
designation.And the values of compacting factor related to this w/c ratio would change to
lower value (Since the slump of this w/c ratio would reduced)
Approximately 0.55

 Selection of water content and fine to total aggregate ratio per cubic metre of
concrete:

For the desired workability, the quantity of mixing water per unit volume of concrete and the
ratio of fine aggregate to total aggregate by absolute volume are to be estimated for 20mm 186
nominal maximum size of aggregate.

Similarly from the same Table as referred to above, sand as a percentage of total aggregate
35
to absolute volume as 35% for concrete grade up to M-25.

Adjustment of Values in water content and sand percentage for other conditions:

The required adjustment are made for the change in condition stipulated
a) For sand conforming to grading zone-II
Adjustment to water content 0
Adjustment to sand content 0
b) For decrease in water cement ratio of 0.55
Adjustment to water content 0
Adjustment to sand content (Each 0.05 decrease ; - 1.0% in sand content) -1.6
c) For increase in compacting factor of 0.95
Adjustment to water content (Each 0.1 increase ; + 3.0% in water content) -0.9
Adjustment to sand content 0
Hence the required water content 167.4
Required sand content 32.1
Calculation of cement content:
The cement content per unit volume of concrete is calculated from the adjusted free water-
cement ratio and the selected w/c ratio.
372
This cement content so obtained shall be checked against the minimum cement content for
the requirements of durability, which in this case is 300 kg/m3. The greater of the two
values was taken for the design.

Estimation of Air Content:
Approximate amount of entrapped air to be expected in a normal concrete (non-entrained
concrete) is 2 % for 20mm maximum nominal size of the aggregate (entrapped air as a 0.02
percen tage of volume of concrete)
Determination of Coarse and fine aggregate contents:
With the quantity of water and cement content per unit volume of concrete and the ratio of fine to total aggregate already established
the following Equations:
V=[ W + C/Sc + 1/p*fa/Sfa]/1000
V=[ W + C/Sc + 1/1-p*Ca/Sca]/1000
where,
V= Absolute volume of fresh concrete which is equal to gross volume in cum minus the
0.98
volume of the entrapped air.
W= Mass of water in kg per cum of concrete. 167.40
C= Mass of cement in kg per cum of concrete. 372.00
Sc= Specific gravity of cement 3.12
p= Ratio of fine aggregate to total aggregate by absolute volume 0.32
fa, ca= Total mass of fine and coarse aggregate in kg per cum of of concrete respectively.
Sfa = Specific gravities of saturated surface dry fine aggregate 2.40
Sca= Specific gravities of saturated surface dry coarse aggregate 2.83
Substituting these values we get,
V=[ W + C/Sc + 1/p*fa/Sfa]/1000, 525.05
V=[ W + C/Sc + 1/1-p*Ca/Sca]/1000 1414.82

Hence the total aggrgates per 1 m or indicating the percentages 1939.87
fine aggregate % 27.07
coarse aggregate % 72.93
Total aggregate % 100.00
Mix proportion designed as above
The mix design proportion is stipulated in the table below.
