The ‘margin over characteristic strength is given by the following relation: Sahat 165 5 where fa. = target mean compressive strength at 28 days in Nima Ja, = characteristic compressive strength at 28 ‘The standard deviation for each grade of eonerete shall, be calculated separately. 3.2.1.1 Standard deviation based on test strength of sample 8) Number of test results of samples —The total ‘number of test strength of samples requited to constitute an acceptable record for calculation of standard deviation shall be not less than 30. Attempts should be made to1S 10262 : 2009 ‘obtain the 30 samples (taken from site), a carly as possible, when a mix is used for the first dine. b) Incase of significant changes in concrete — ‘When significant changes are made in the production of concrete batches (for example changes in the materials used, mix proportioning, equipment or technical control), the standard deviation value shall be separately calculated for such batches of concrete, ©) Standard deviation to be brought up-to- date — The calculation of the standard deviation shall be brought up-to-date after every change of mix proportioning. 3.2.1.2 Assumed standard deviation ‘Where sufficient test results for a particular grade of concrete are not available, the value of standard deviation given in Table | may be assumed for the proportioning of mix in the first instance. As soon as the results of samples are available, actual calculated standard deviation shall be used and the proportioned properly. However, when adequate past records for a similar grade exist and justify to the designer a value of standard deviation different from that shown in Table 1, it shall be permissible to use that value, ‘Table 1 Assumed Standard Deviation (Clauses 3.2.1.2, A-3 and B-3) ix) M25 = M45 30 NOTE — The above values correspond 10 the site contol having proper storage of cement, weigh batching ofall ‘materi; controlled adiion of water, regular ehecking of ll ‘materials, aggregate grading and moisture content; and penodidl checking of workability and strength, Where there {Sdeviation from the above, values given in the above table ‘hall be increased by 1 NVtan? 4 SELECTION OF MIX PROPORTIONS 4.1 Selection of Water-Cement Ratio (see Note) Different cements, supplementary cementitious ‘materials and aggregates of different maximum size, grading, surface texture, shape and other charactetisties may produce concretes of different ‘compressive strength for the same free water-cement ratio. Therefore, the relationship between strength and free water-cement ratio should preferably be established for the materials actually to be used. In the absence of such data, the preliminary free watet- cement ratio (by mass) corresponding to the target strength at 28 days may be selected from the established relationship, if available. Otherwise, the water-cement ratio given in Table 5 of IS 456 for respective environment exposure conditions may be used as starting point. NOTE — The supplementary cementitious matesals, that i, ‘mineral adiistures stall also be considered in wate-cement ‘ato callations im accordance with Table 5 of 1S 456, 4.1.1 The free water-cement ratio selected according to 4.1 should be checked against the limiting water- ‘cement ratio for the requirements of durability and the lower of the two values adopted. 4.2 Selection of Water Content ‘The water content of concrete is influenced by a number of factors, such as aggregate size, aggregate shape, aggregate texture, workability, water-cement ratio, cement and other supplementary cementitious ‘material type and content, chemical admixture and environmental conditions. An increase in aggregates size, a reduction in water-cement ratio and slump, and use of rounded aggregate and water reducing ‘admixtures will reduce the water demand. On the other hand inereased temperature, cement content, slump, water-cement ratio, aggregate angularity and a decrease in the proportion of the coarse aggregate to fine aggregate will increase water demand. ‘The quantity of maximum mixing water per unit volume of concrete may be determined from Table 2. The water content in Table 2 is for angular coarse aggregate and for 25 to $0 mm slump range. The water estimate in Table 2 can be reduced by Approximately 10 kg for sub-angular aggregates, 20, kg for gravel with some crushed particles and 25 kg for rounded gravel to produce same workability. For the desired workability (other than 25 to $0 mm slump range), the required water content may be established by tial or an increase by about 3 percent for every additional 25 mm slump or altematively by use of chemical admixtures conforming to 18 9103. This illustrates the need for trial bateh testing of local materials as each aggregate source is different and can influence conerete properties differently. Water reducing admixtures or superplasticizing admixtures usually decrease water content by 5 to 10 percent and20 percent and above respectively at appropriate dosages. ‘Table 2 Maximum Water Content per Cubi ‘Metre of Concrete for Nominal ‘Maximum Size of Aggregate (Clauses 4.2, A-5 and B-5) 1S 10262 : 2009 cement ratio and strength properties of eonerete are ‘consistent with the recommendations of IS 456 and meet project specification requirements as applicable. ‘Table 3 Volume of Coarse Aggregate per Unit ‘Volume of Total Aggregate for Different Zones of Fine Aggregate (Clauses 4.4, A-T and B-7) SI Nomina Maximum ‘cad Size of Aggregate (Content SI Nominal Volume of Coarse Aggregate" per Unit vm ie No. Matimum "lume of otal Aserezate for : ‘Soeur piernt Zone of ine Segre ” @ ” eee 0 208 ‘mm ZoneiW Zone Zonsit Zonet a x 196 wo 7 6 #» 6 © Os) aa ade (ae NOTH — These gums of mixing water sve mmc in} HOD ‘computing cementitious material contents for trial batches. 4 io oe 4 TT Waterleontent corresponding to saturated serace dey segregate, 4.3 Caleulation of Cementitious Material Content ‘The cement and supplementary cementitious material content per unit volume of conerete may be calculated from the free water-cement ratio (see 4.1) and the ‘quantity of water per unit volume of conerete, The cementitious material content so caleulated shall, be checked against the minimum content for the requirements of durability and greater of the two values adopted. The maximum cement content shall be in accordance with IS 456. 4.4 Estimation of Coarse Aggregate Proportion Agarogates of essentially the same nominal maximum size, type and grading will produce concrete of satisfactory workability when a given volume of ‘coarse aggregate per unit volume of total aggregate is used, Approximate values for this aggregate volume are given in Table 3 for a water-cement ratio of 0.5, which may be suitably adjusted for other water- ‘cement ratios. tean be seen that for equal workability, the volume of coarse aggregate in a unit volume of ‘concrete is dependent only on its nominal maximum size and grading zone of fine aggregate, Differences the amount of mortar required for workability with ifferent aggregates, due to differences in particle shape and grading, ate compensated for automatically by differences in rodded void content. 441 For more workable concrete mixes which is sometimes required when placement is by pump or when the concrete is required 10 be worked around ‘congested reinforcing sce, i may be desirable to reduce the estimated coarse aggregate content determined using Table 3 up to 10 percent.

Coarse aggregates of different sizes may be combined in suitable proportions so as to result im an overall _erading conforming (o Table 2 of IS 383 for particular yominal maximum size of agerezate, 4.6 Estimation of Fine Aggregate Proportion With the completion of procedure given in 4.4, all the ingredients have been estimated except the coarse and fine aggregate content. These quantities are determined by finding out the absolute volume of cementitious material, water and the chemical admixture; by dividing their mass by their respective specitic gravity, multiplying by 1/1000 and subiracting the result of their summation from unit volume, The values s0 obtained are divided into Coarse and Fine Aggregate fractions by volume in accordance with coarse aggregate proportion already determined in 4.4, The coarse and fine aggregate contents are then determined by multiplying with their respective specific gravities and multiplying by 1 0900. S TRIAL MIXES ‘The calculated mix proportions shall be checked by ‘means of trial batches. Workability of the Trial Mix No. 1 shall be measured. ‘The mix shal be carefully observed for freedom from, segregation and bleeding and its finishing properties. If the measured workability of Trial Mix No. | is different from the stipulated value, the water and/or admixture content shall be adjusted suitably. With18 10262: 2009 this adjustment, the mix proportion shall be recalculated keeping the free water-cement ratio at the pre-selected value, which will comprise Trial Mix No. 2. In addition two more Trial Mixes No. 3 and 4 shall be made with the water content samne as Trial Mix No. 2 and varying the free water-cement ratio by +£10 percent of the preselected value. Mix No. 2 to 4 normally provides sufficient information, including the relationship between compressive strength and water-cement ratio, from ‘whieh the mix proportions for field trials may be arrived at. The concrete for field trials shall be produced by methods of actual conerete production. G ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES An illustrative example of concrete mix proportioning is given in Annex A. Another illustrative example of :mix proportioning of concrete using fly ash is given in Annex B. These examples are merely illustrative to explain the procedure; and the actual mix proportioning shall be based on trial batches with the given materials.
