A3 Target Strength for Mix Proportioning
F'ck = fck + 1.65 s
or
fck + X
Whichever is Higher
where F'ck = Target average Compressive strength at 28 Days
Fck = Characteristic Compressive strength at 28 Days
s = Standard Deviation
2
From IS 10262 :2019 Table 2 , Standard Deviation , s = = 5.0 N/mm
As per IS 10262:2019 Table 1, X value = 6.5
Therefore, Target Mean Strength using both equations, that is =
a) F'ck = fck + 1.65 s = 30 + 1.65 x 5.00 N/mm2
38.25 N/mm2
b) F'ck = fck + X 30 + 6.5 N/mm2
2
36.50 N/mm
The Higher Value is to be adopted. Therefore, target Stregth will be
38.25 N/mm2 as 38.25 N/mm2 > 36.50 N/mm2.
A4 Selection of Water - Cement Ratio
From IS 456:2000, Table 5, Maximum Water -Cement Ratio = 0.45
Based on Experience, adopt Water-Cement ratio as 0.37
A5 Selection of Water Content
From IS 10262:2019,Table 4, Water Content (for 50 mm slump) for 20
= 186.00 Kg
mm Aggregate
Estimated Water Content for 150 mm slump, So,
= 208.32 Kg
= (186+(12% X 186)
As a superplasticizers used, water content can be reduced. based on 208.32
based on trial data , the water content reduction of 23.214 = X
Kg
percent is considered while using superplasticizer at the rate 0.768
0.90 percent by the weight of Total cement
Hence the water content = 160.0 Kg
A6 Calculation of Cement Content
Water-Cement ratio = 0.372
Cementicious content = 159.96 /0.372 = 430 Kg
From Table 5 of IS 456:2000, minimum cementicious content for
‘Severe’ exposure condition = 320 kg/m3
OK
400 kg/m3> 320 kg/m3, hence, OK

Recommended Admixture % of Total Cement = 0.90 %

= 3.87 Kg
Total Cementitious Content taken = 430 Kg
Cement Content taken = 290 Kg
Flyash Content taken = 140 Kg
A7 Proportioning of Coarse and fine Aggregate Content
From table 5 of IS 10262:2019, the proportionate volume of Coarse aggregate corresponding to
20mm size aggregate and fine aggregate Zone II for Water-cement ratio of 0.50 = 0.62
in the present case Water-cement ratio is 0.372 Therefore, Volume of coarse aggregate is required to be
Increase to Decreased the fine aggregate content. As the Water-cement ratio is lower by 0.128
the proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is adjusted by 0.026 (at the rate of -/+0.01 for every +/- 0.05 change
in water-cement ratio)
Therefore, corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for the Water-cement ratio 0.646
For Pumpable concrete these values should be reduced 5 percent
Therefore, Volume of coarse aggregate = 0.646 X 0.950 = 0.61
Volume of fine aggregate content 1 - 0.613 = 0.39

.: The Volume of Coarse Aggregate is 0.613

.: The Volume of Fine Aggregate is 0.387

A8 Mix Calculation
The Mix calculations per unit volume of concrete
a) Volume of concrete = 1 M3
Volume of entrapped air in
wet concrete = 1.00% M3
Volume of Incredients = 0.990 M3

b) Volume of Cement Mass of Cement 1

 f) Volume of All - in - Aggregate = [ a - ( b + c + d + e )]
= 0.99 - ( 0.092 + 0.064 + 0.16 + 0.004 )
= 0.671 M3

g) Mass of Coarse Aggregate = f X Volume of Coarse aggregate X Proportion of 20 mm

X Specific Gravity of Coarse aggregate (20 mm) X 1000
.: 20mm = 0.671 X 0.613 X 0.52 X 2.84 X 1000
= 0.671 X 0.31876 X 2.84 X 1000
= 607 Kg

.: 10mm = f X Volume of Coarse aggregate X Proportion of 10 mm

X Specific Gravity of Coarse aggregate (10 mm) X 1000
= 0.671 X 0.613 X 0.48 X 2.83 X 1000
= 0.671 X 0.29424 X 2.83 X 1000
= 558 Kg

h) Mass of Fine Aggregate = f X Volume of Fine aggregate X Specific Gravity of

Fine aggregate X 1000
= 0.671 X 0.387 X 2.68 X 1000
= 695 Kg

Remark : Note 1:The above Mix Design is on the basis of our approved sources/suppliers of the material. The same may require alteration in
proportioning of materials including Admixture,within limits, as per routine tests on raw materials and climatic conditions, by keeping the
performance requirements intact, Which should be informed to the customer & after mutual discussion only any modification will be done.

Note 2: Admixture Resdoing can be done upto 0.25% of the total mass of Binder content at site only after discretion of EIC and as per site
conditions.
Note 3: Contents of RM can be adjusted to match yield while production/at site.
