    The document provides details on deriving batch quantities for high strength concrete using the de'Larrad method. It gives the steps to calculate cement, silica fume, water and aggregate contents for a concrete mix designed to achieve 90 MPa compressive strength using 10% cement replacement with silica fume. The key equations and parameters used in the de'Larrad method are also defined. An exercise is then presented to derive batch quantities for a concrete mix designed to achieve 110 MPa strength using 5% silica fume and 25% fly ash replacement.

    Design of High Strength Concrete using de‘Larrad Method

    Derive the batch quantities for 1 m3 of concrete with a design strength of 90


    MPa using 10% replacement of cement by silica fume (sf) and crushed
    basalt aggregate.
    For Basalt Aggregate KgRC = 320 MPa
    Paste = cement + water + superplasticiser
    Volume of paste per cubic metre of concrete is given by :

    𝐶 𝑠 (𝑤⁄𝑐 )
    + + c + Su = 0.33 m3 ……..…… Equation 1
    𝐶 𝑆 𝑊

    where :
    C : weight of cement

    S : weight of silica fume

    c : specific gravity of cement 3.15

    sf : specific gravity of silica fume2.2

    w : Specific gravity of water

    Su : Superplasticiser

    By Using de’Larrad formula, determine w/c.


    Formula of de’Larrad is as follows (Equation 2) :

    1
    𝐾𝑔.𝑅𝐶
    f’ ‘ c = 𝑊 …………… Equation 2
    3.1 ( 𝐶 )
    ⌈1+ 𝑠 ⌉2
    1.4−0.4 exp(−11𝑐)

    where :
    f’ ‘ c = mean (targeted strength)
    w/c = 0.32
    Then, from Equation 1, determine cement (c ), silica fume (sf) and water
    (w) content. Given Su (superplasticiser) is 1.6 Litre for every 100 kg of
    cement.
    C = 469 kg/m3
    sf = 52 kg/m3
    water (w) = 150 kg/m3
    Superplasticer = 1.6 x 469/100 = 7.5 LITRE
    Assume , air content 1% of total volume
    Total Aggregate (in volume) = 1 - 0.01 - 0.33 = 0.66 m3
    Given Fine Aggregate(FA) is 30% of the total aggregate and specific gravity
    of both aggregate 2.65
    Coarse Aggregate = 0.70 x 0.66 x 2,650 = 1224 kg/m3
    Fine Aggregate = 0.30 x 0.66 x 2,650 = 525 kg/m3
    Hence, batch quantities in kg/m3
    in Cement Silica Water Fine Coarse Superplasticiser
    kg/m3 fume Agg Agg
    469 52 150 525 1224 7.5 Litre

    Exercise :
    Derive the batch quantities to produce 110 MPa strength of
    concrete using de’Larrad method incorporating 5% silica fume
    and 25% fly ash. The concrete is also required to possess high
    resistance to vibration characteristic.

    Given KgRC = 300 MPa


    Fine aggregate content is 35% of the total aggregate content
    Volume paste = 0.35 m3
    S.G for cement = 3.15
    S.G for silica fume = 2.2
    S.G for aggregate = 2.7
    Su = 1.4 Liter for every 100 kg
