Method of placing Pumping
Step 1
Target mean strength
fck' = fck + 1.65 *S
or
fck' = fck + X
fck = 25
S= 4
X= 5.5
fck'= 31.6 N/mm2
0r
fck'= 30.5 N/mm2
Step 2
Approximate air content
Size of aggregate 20 mm
Entraped air from table 3 1%
which is 0.01
Step 3
water cement ratio
fck'= 32
Cement Grade 43
W/c = 0.4833333333
Step3 (selection of water content)
Now water content as per table 04 of IS 10262
Aggegate size 20
water content= 186 kg/m3
Above water content is for slump 50mm, for desired slump the water content will be
WCx = WC50 + ((x-50)/25)*(3/100)*WC50
x= 110 mm
WC50 186 kg/m3
WCx= 199.392 kg/m3
step 4 (Reduction of water content for Chemical adixture)
For water reducing admixture reduce water content by 5 to 10%
for superplasticizer reduce water content by 20-30%
Therefore reduce 23% water content for 1% superplasticizer
WCx= 153.532
WCx= 154.000 kg/m3
Step 5: Calculation of cementitious content
Cementitious content = water content / Wc ratio > Minimum cementitious content table 5 IS 456:2000
Cementitious content = 318.62
Say 319.00 kg/m3
GGBS = 40% of total cementious material
GGBS= 127.6 kg/m3
say 128 kg/m3
Now cement content = Cementitious content - GGBS
Cement = 191.00 kg/m3
Step 6 : Proportion of volume of coarse aggregate & fine Aggregate (clause 5.5 IS 10262)
Zone of FA = 2
Nominal Size of CA = 20 mm
Volume of CA = from Table 5 IS 10262 0.62
But above table is for water-cementitious material ratio 0.5, therefore we have to change the volume to t
Therefore Vca@w = [email protected] + ((0.5-w)/0.05)* 0.01
Now Vca@w 0.6233333333
Now according to clause 5.5.2 reduce the volume of CA by 10% for pumping
Now Vca@w 0.561
& Vfa@w = 1-Vca@w
Therefore Vfa@w= 0.439
Step 7: Mix Calculations

Volumne of entrapped air (a) 0.01
Volume of water (b) 154.000 1.000 wc/(sp gv *1000)

6 Coarse Aggregate (SSD) 1137.35 kg/m3
7 Fine aggregate (SSD) 860.78 kg/m3
Step 9 Adjustment in Mix Design
1) Fine aggregates (Dry) = Mass of fine aggregate in SSD condition /(1+(%water absorption/100)-(%m
water abortion= 1.00%
Moisture content 0
Fine aggregates (Dry) = 852.25452954
say 853 kg/m3
2) Extra water required for the fine aggregate simulate a SSD condition
A = (Mass of fine aggregate in SSD condition) -(Mass of fine aggregate in dry condition)
A= 7.78 kg/m3
1) Coarse aggregates (Dry) = Mass of corse aggregate in SSD condition /(1+(%water absorption/100)-(%
water abortion= 0.50%
Moisture content 0
Coarse aggregates (Dry) = 1131.6904734 kg/m3
say 1132 kg/m3
2) Extra water required for the coarse aggregate simulate a SSD condition
B = (Mass of coarse aggregate in SSD condition) -(Mass of coarse aggregate in dry condition)
A= 5.35 kg/m3
Total water required = water requirement + A+B
Total water required = 167.13 kg/m3
say 168 kg/m3
