(f) Type of exposure Condition of concrete (as defined in IS: 456) = Mild
Himsworth constant for 5% risk factor is 1.65 & standard deviation is taken
from IS: 456 2000 for M – 25 Grade of concrete is 4.0.
ftarget = fck + 1.65 x S
Where,
Minimum cement Content required for mild exposure condition = 300 kg/m3
This value is required to be checked for durability requirement from IS: 456 –
2000
In this example for mild exposure and for the reinforced concrete the
minimum cement content is 300 kg/m3 which are less than 383.2 kg/m 3.
Hence cement content adopted = 383.2 kg/m3.
(Note 1: For every ±0.05 increase or decrease change in w/c, the coarse
aggregate proportion is to be changed by 0.01. If the w/c is less than 0.5,
volume of coarse aggregate is required to be increased to reduce the fine
aggregate content in mix. If water cement ratio is more than 0.5, volume of
coarse aggregate is to be reduced to increase the fine aggregate content. If
coarse aggregate is not of angular shape, volume of coarse aggregate is
required to be increased suitably, based on experience based)
Hence,
W/c = 0.5
For making trial -1, mass of ingredients required will be calculated for 4 no’s
cube assuming 25% wastage.
The mix proportion determined in Step 6 Make trial mix -1 & with this
proportion, concrete is manufactured and tested for fresh concrete properties
requirement like workability, bleeding and finishing qualities.
In this Trial Mix,
Slump value = 25 mm
From Mix Slum test, the concrete is workable and had a true slump of about
25 mm and it is free from segregation and bleeding.
So modifications and changes are needed in trial mix 1 to get the desired
workability.
The corrected water content for mix = 191.6 x 1.03 = 197.4 kg.
For making trial -2, Weight of material required will be calculated for 4 no’s
cube assuming 25% wastage.
So, from results of slump of Mix , the concrete is workable and had a true
slump of about 60 mm.
In this trial mix water / cement ratio is to be decreased by 10% keeping water
content constant.
