A-2 TEST DATA FOR MATERIALS

v) Cement used : OPC 43 grade confirming to IS

8112 w) Specific gravity of cement : 3.15

x) Specific gravity of

Coarse aggregate : 2.68

Fine aggregate
: 2.65 y) Water absorption

Coarse aggregate : 0.6 percent

Fine aggregate : 1.0

percent z) Free (surface) moisture

Coarse aggregate : Nil (absorbed

moisture full) Fine aggregate : Nil
 aa) Sieve analysis

Coarse aggregate : Conforming to Table 2 of IS: 383

Fine aggregate : Conforming to Zone I of IS: 383

A-3 TARGET STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPORTIONING

f ck = fck +

1.65 s

Where

f
ck = Target average compressive strength at 28
days,

fck = Characteristic compressive strength at 28

days, s= Standard deviation
2
From Table 1 standard deviation, s = 5 N/mm
2
Therefore target strength = 30 + 1.65 x 5 = 38.25 N/mm

A-4 SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO

From Table 5 of IS:456-2000, maximum water cement ratio = 0.50 (Moderate

exposure) Based on experience adopt water cement ratio as 0.45 as the cement is
53 grade

0.45 < or =0.5, hence ok

A-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT

From Table-2, maximum water content = 186 liters (for 25mm 50mm slump range
and for 20 mm aggregates)

Estimated water content for 25-50 mm slump = 186 liters

A-6 CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT

 Water cement ratio = 0.45
3 3
Cement content = 186/0.45 = 413 kg/m >350 kg/m (given)

From Table 5 of IS: 456, minimum cement content for moderate exposure condition = 300
3
kg/m

Hence OK

A-7 PROPORTION OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND

FINE AGGREGATE CONTENT

From Table 3, volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and

fine aggregate (Zone I) for water-cement ratio of 0.50 =0.60. Modify this as w/c is 0.45.
The new value is 0.61. Volume of fine aggregate is 0.39.

A-8 MIX
CALCULATIONS

The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as

follows

g) 3
Volume of concrete =1m
h)
Volume of cement

3
= [413/3.15] x [1/1000] = 0.131 m
i) Volume of water 3
= [186/1] x [1/1000] = 0.186 m

j) Volume of all in aggregates (e) =a (b + c)

k) Volume of coarse aggregates = e x Volume of CA x specific gravity of CA

= 0.683 x 0.61 x 2.68 x 1000 = 1117 kg

l) Volume of fine aggregates = e x Volume of FA x specific gravity of FA

= 0.683 x 0.39 x 2.65 x 1000 = 706 kg
