    Comparative Analysis of Concrete Mix Proportioning

    as per BS, ACI and BIS


    Student Name: Basil Mohammed Al-Amari
    ID: 42S144
    Supervisor: Dr. R. Rathan Raj
    Introduction

     Deal with project the Comparative Analysis of Concrete Mix


    Proportioning as per BS, ACI and BIS.
     This study is aimed to establish different mixing procedures across
    different provisions.
     Calculation of the detailed quantities of construction components with
    and without admixtures.
     The determination of the proportions of cement, aggregates and water
    to attain the desired strength and properties such as workability,
    durability etc.
    Aim of the Project

    The aim is primarily to examine the mixing proportioning of


    various concrete grades with and without admixtures in a
    comparative evaluation. This study is aimed to establish different
    mixing procedures across different provisions.
    Objectives of the Project
     The balance in terms of BS, ACI or BIS should be analyzed
    and planned.
     Calculation of the detailed quantities of construction
    components with and without admixtures.

     Formulating an extensive mixing proportion for various


    concrete grades.

     To analyze the prices of multiple mixtures.


    Discussion
     Concrete is a composite material consisting of cement, water, and
    aggregates. These ingredients can be mixed in different ratios to attain
    desired strengths.

     The difference in the results of mix design using different codes arises due
    to the source of materials and different moisture conditions.

     The concrete obtained by properly determining the proportions of the


    ingredients of concrete to get the concrete of desired strength and
    properties is called as Design Mix Concrete. It is seen that ‘mix design’ not
    only produce concrete of desired strength but also an economical one. A
    design mix concrete is preferred over a nominal mix concrete.
     Concrete Mix Proportioning : The determination of the
    proportions of cement, aggregates and water to attain the
    desired strength and properties such as workability,
    durability etc., is called as concrete mix proportioning.
    Literature Review
    Admixtures:
     Kosmatka & Canada, 2011 specified admixtures as ingredients
    incorporated other than water and cement to a concrete mix.
     New Zealand Concrete Research Association, 1986 has defined
    admixtures as materials that are not more than 5 percent by mass of
    cement added during the mixing phase of concrete.
     Dodson, 2013 identify admixtures, before or after mixing, as additional
    materials that are not water concrete or aggregates.
     Dodson, 2013 explains the processes used during admixtures. The
    processes are Cement dispersal, Alteration of the cement hydration rate,
    Answer with hydrating cement by products and there is no reaction.

    Step 1: Determination of Free Water Content (kg/cm3)of according to required

    workability .
    Step 2 : Deals with Strength (N/mm2) leading to the free water/cement
    ratio = 0.5
    Step 3 : Determination of suitable W/C.
    Step 4 : Calculation of Cement Content (C.C) in kg/m3 (from step 1 + step 3)
    Step 5 : Weight of concrete = C.C + F.W.C + T.AG.
    Step 6 : Calculate T.AG from step 5.
    Step 7 : Determination of %Fine Aggregate.
    Step 8 : Calculation of Fine Aggregate content (F.A) in kg/m3 = %Fine*T.AG.
    Step 9 : Calculation of Coarse Aggregate content (C.A) in kg/m3 = T.AG – F.A.
    Step 4: Calculation of Cement Content (C.C) in kg/m3 (from step 1 + step 3)
    Step 1: Get F.W.C = Water
    Step 3: Get W/C and using the equation
    Get C.C = ----- Kg/m3
    Step 8: Calculation of Fine Aggregate content (F.A) in kg/m3 = %Fine*T.AG.
    Step 6: Get T.AG = ---- Kg/m3
    Step 7: Get % Fine = ---- Kg/m3
    Step 8: F.A = % Fine*T.AG
    F.A = ---- Kg/m3
    Step 9: Calculation of Coarse Aggregate content (C.A) in kg/m3 = T.AG – F.A.
    C.A = T.AG – F.A
    C.A = ---- Kg/m3

    Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA)

    When pulverized fly ash (PFA) is used in the mix proportions, the calculations are as follows.
     Total percentage of PFA is fixed as specified/desired.
     Water content is reduced depending on Pf .
     Cement and FA Content.
     P = F / (C+F) * 100 ; F = PC’/(100-P)
     W/C = W’ / (C’ +kF)
     C’=[100-P]w’ / [(100-0.7P)(W/C)]
     k = 0.3
     Wet density is assumed same as control mix

    ACI Method of Mix Design
    Step 1 :Mean Cylinder Compressive Strength
    Assuming 5 percent of results are allowed to fall below specified (k) design strength,
    The mean strength, fm = fmin + ks = 30 + 1.68 x 5 = 38.4 MPa
    Step 2 :Water/Cement ratio ( T-11.5 )
    Strength Criteria
    Durability Criteria
    The estimated W/C ratio is 0.45 from table (T-11.5) interpolation . Also Max. W/C ratio given
    for
    special exposure condition in (T-11.6) Max W/C ratio is 0.5.
    Step 3 :Mixing Water Content (T-11.8)
    Slump = 30 mm
    Maximum size of aggregate = 20 mm
    Concrete is non air entrained
    The mixing water content is 185 kg/m3 of concrete.
    The approximate entrapped air content is 2%.
    The required cement content = 185/0.45 = 411 kg/m3
    Step 4 : Bulk volume of C.A (T-11.4)
    Maximum size of C.A = 20 mm
    Fineness Modulus of F.A = 2.80
    The dry rodded bulk volume of C.A = 0.62 per unit volume of concrete.
    The weight of C.A = 0.62 x 1600 = 992 kg/m3

    Step 5 :The first estimate of density of fresh concrete = 2355 kg/m3

    Step 6 :Weight of Fine Aggregate (F.A)


    Weight of water = 185 kg/m3, Weight of cement = 411 kg/m3 ,Weight
    of C.A = 992 kg/m3
    Weight of F.A = 2355 – (185+411+992) = 767 kg/m3
    Alternatively, the weight of F.A. can be determined by the more accurate
    absolute volume method
    Absolute Volume = weight/ (1000* sp.gravity) M3

    Data collection: Absolute Volume of all the known ingredients

    Ingredients Weight kg 1m3 Absolute Volume Cm3


    Cement 411 411/3.15 x 103 = 130 x 103
    Water 185 185/1 x 103 = 185x 103
    Coarse aggregate 992 992/2.7 x 103 = 367x 103
    Air - 2/100 x 106 = 20 x 103
    Total absolute volume = 697 x 103 cm3

    Absolute volume of F.A = (1000 –702) x 103 = 298 x 103 cm3

    Weight of F.A = Absolute volume of F.A x S.G =

    298 x 2.6 = 755kg/m3

    Adopt F.A=775Kg/m3
    Step 7 :Estimated quantities of materials per cubic meter of concrete are:
    Cement = 411 kg/m3, F.A = 755 kg/m3, C.A = 992 kg/m3, Water = 185 kg/m3, Total volume = 2363 kg/m3
    Step 8 :The above quantities is on the basis that both F.A & C.A are in saturated and surface dry condition
    (SSD conditions).
    F.A has surface moisture of 2%
    Total free surface moisture in F.A = (2/100 x774) = 15.48 kg/m 3
    Weight of F.A in field condition = 774+ 15.48 = 789.48 kg/m3
    C.A absorbs 1% water
    Quantity of water absorbed by C.A = (1/100 x 992) = 9.92 kg/m 3
    Weight of C.A in field condition = 992 - 9.92 = 982 kg/m3
    Change in Water Content
    Water contributed by F.A = 15.48 kg
    Water absorbed by C.A = 9.92 kg
    Extra water contributed by aggs. = 15.48 – 9.92 = 5.56 kg
    Total water content = 185 – 5.56 = 179.44 kg
    Data Collection: Quantities of materials to be used in field,
    corrected for free surface moisture in F.A and absorption
    characteristic of AC.A
