MIX DESIGN

Design stipulations:
a) Maximum size of aggregate

= 20 mm

b) Degree of workability

= 0.90

c) Degree of workability

= Good

d) Type of exposure

= Mild

Test data for materials:

a) Specific gravity of cement

= 2.84

b) Specific gravity of fine aggregate

= 2.67

c) Specific gravity of coarse aggregate

= 2.73

Mix Design for M30 Grade Concrete

Characteristic compressive strength required in field at 28 days = 30 N/mm2
Target Mean Strength fck = fck + t* s
Value of t = 1.65 (Table 2 of IS: 10262 1982, p6)
s = Standard deviation for M30 grade =6 N/mm2 (Table 8 of IS: 456 2000, p23)
fck = Target Mean Strength =30+ (1.65*6) = 39.9 N/ mm2
Selection of water cement ratio: W/C = 0.375
Water content per m3 of concrete = 186 kg (Table 4 of IS: 10262 1982, p9)
Sand content as % of total aggregate by absolute volume = 35 %

Determination of cement content:
W/C = 0.375
Water = 186 + ((186*3)/100) = 191.58 litres/m3
Cement content = 510.88 kg/m3
Determination of coarse and fine aggregate content (IS: 10262 1982,
p.11)
For Fine aggregate V = (W + (C/SC) + (1/p) (fa/Sfa)) * (1/1000)
For Coarse aggregate V = (W + (C/SC) + (1/1-p) (ca/Sca)) * (1/1000)
Entraining air percentage = 2 and V= 0.98 (Table 3 of IS: 10262 1982, p9)
Fine aggregate:

fa = 497.02 kg/m3

Coarse aggregate: ca = 1158.9 kg/m3
