( Note : Sand conform to Zone 1. )
C) Target Strenhth for concrete:

Target compressive strength of concrete at 28 days=30+1.65X6 =39.9 Mpa=40Mpa (say)
Equivalent targate flexural strenght of concrete at 28days, S = 4.43 Mpa
D) Selection of water and sand contents:

From Table4 of IRC44,for water-cement ratio of 0.50 , Slump of 25mm, F.M of Sand of 2.60
and angular aggregate, of 25mm maximum size, water content per cum. of concrete=177.5 kg
and sand content as percent of total aggregate by absolute voluma =38%
For changes in the values of water-cement ratio, fineness modolus of sand & slump, the adjustments
required in the mix are:-
Adjustment required in
Changes in condition Water content (kg) sand content (%)
-1%
I) decrease in w/c (0.5-0.45)=0.05 0
II) increase in FM of sand (3.45-2.60)=0.85 0

4.25%
III) slump (30mm-25mm)=5mm 0.80%
Total 0.80% 3.25%
Therefore, required water content per cum. of concrete =179 kg and sand content as
percent of total aggregate by absolute volume = (38+3.25)=41.25% say 42%
E) Combined grading of coarse and fine aggregate (As per Table 1500.1 of MORD:)

75micron - 1.4 - - 0.59 0.59 0-8
Note: Copmbined grading of total aggregates conforms to specified limits.
F) Deternination of Cement Content:
Water-cement ratio=W/C= 0.42

Water content= 179 kg
Therefore, cement content,C=426kg=425 kg (say)
G) Determination of Aggregate- Cement Ratio:
For the specified maximum size of aggregate of 25mm, the amount of entrapped air in the wet concrete
is 1.50%. Taking this factor into account,
0.985cum.=(179+425/3.15+1/0.42xS/2.60)x1/1000
Therefor, S=733 kg
0985 cum=(179+425/3.15+1/0.58xA/2.721)x1/1000
Therefore A=1059 kg
The mix proportios are therefore:
Water Cement Sand Coarse aggregate Total aggregate

179 kg : 425 kg : 733 1069 kg 1792 kg
or 0.42 : 1:00 1.72 2.49 4.21
Therefore, Aggregate-Cement ratio= 4.21:1
Note: The aggregates weights (coarse & fine) derived are dry weights. During site batching suitable
corrections for water absorption and surface moisture (If any) in aggregate shall be considered and
adjustments in water content be made to maintain the free W/C ratio at its specified value .
H) Trial Mixes:
Trial mixes were carried out the above propotion of various ingredients and the compressive strenght
and slump values observed. The details of trial mix test results are tabulated below:

TM-1H 8244 28 43.6 43.4 28 days

Remark :- The mix proportions recommended above should be trried in the field using
the proposed materials and finalised by observing the actual performance of the concrete mix.
Sutaible modifications may be necessary to suit field conditions in the light of experience as
well as for the particular materials used at the site in each case.
