Trial mix 1 satisfies the required workability, 7,14 & 28 days compressive strength and the mix shows
homogeneous & cohessive appearance. Therefore the design mix proportions as stipulated below
would be the FINAL JOB MIX FORMULA.

CA , 20 mm, kg #REF!
8 Remarks
1)The selected design mix should be recalucalted for allowences of current free moisture content and
water absorption of aggregate during execution @ site .
2) Dosage of admixture can be adjusted to the required workability without changing the W/C ratio.

W/C As per Most table 1700-3 (A) 0.5 For Normal Exposure
6.2 For decrease in water cement ratio of ( 0.6- 0.45) = 0.15 No correction Max W/C is 0.5 as per MoRTH
Adjustment to water content No correction Max W/C is 0.5 as per MoRTH
Adjustment to sand conctent (Each 0.05 decrease -1% ) No correction Max W/C is 0.5 as per MoRTH
6.3 For increase in compaction factor of (0.9-0.8)= 0.1 No correction As per MoRTH compaction factor is 0.8
Adjustment to water content (Each 0.1 increase,+3 % ) No correction As per MoRTH compaction factor is 0.8
Adjustment to sand conctent No correction As per MoRTH compaction factor is 0.8
Hence required water content is 145 Kg/m3
Required sand conctent is 42%
8. Determination of Coarse and Fine aggregate. The proportion of CA and FA will be determined by absolute volume method
V=[W+C/SC+ 1/p{fa/Sc}]1/1000
V=[W+C/SC+ 1/p{Ca/Sc}]1/1000
V =Absolute Volume of fresh concrete=Gross Vol -Air 0.98 m3
W =Mass of water 145 Kg/m3
C = Mass of cement 290.00 Kg/m3
Sc=Sp.gravity of Cement 3.15
p = Ratio of FA to Total Aggregate 0.42
fa,Ca = Total Mass of FA and CA
Sfa = Sp. Gravity of FA 2.68
Sca = Sp. Gravity of CA

13.Recommendation
As seen from the mix proportion of M15 ,Trial Mix 1 satisfies the required Workability and 7 & 14 Day's compressive
Strength reache target mean strenth .There fore the design mix proportions as stipulated below would be the FINAL JOB MIX FORMULA
14.Remarks
The selected design mix should be recalculated for allowences of current free moisture content and water absorption of aggragates
