AIM:
To calculate the Concrete Mix Design for M35 grade Concrete with fly ash
EQUATIONS:
f’ck = target mean strength
fck= compressive strength at 28 days of concrete
s = standard deviation ( IS 10262:2009 , table -1)
CODES FOR CONCRETE MIX DESIGN:
OBJECTIVES:
PROCEDURE AND CALCULATION:
F’ck = fck + 1.65 5
fck= 35 N/mm^2 (M35 )
Table 1- IS 10262:2009
s = 5 N/mm^2
f ‘ck = 35 + ( 1.65 x 5)
= 43.25 N/mm^2
2. SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO :
Given :
M35
Assume:
Exposure condition : Extreme ( for reinforced concrete)
Table 5 – IS 456 : 2000
Therefore,
Extreme= w/c ratio= 0.40
M35 = w/c ratio= 0.45
Lower the water cement ratio better the workability
0.40 < 0.45
Water cement ratio = 0.40
Minimum cement content = 360 kg/m^3
3. SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT
Assume :
Nominal size of aggregates= 20 mm
Table 2 -IS 10262: 2009
Minimum water content = 186 litres or kg
Slump ranges from 25 to 50 mm
As superplasticizers (20 % reduced)
= 186 x 80/100 = 148.8 (100-20 = 80)
Water content = 149 litres
4. CALCULATION OF CEMETITIOUS CONTENT ( CEMENT + FLY ASH)
Water cement ratio = w/c= 0.40
Water content = W = 149 kg
Cementitious content = c=149/0.40 = 372.5 = 370 kg/m^3
Minimum cement content = 360 kg/m^3
360< 370 kg/m^3 ( hence okay )
Increase by 10 %
370 x 0.10 + 370 = 407 kg/m^3
W= 149 kg
Water cement ratio = 149/407 = 0.366
Fly ash at 30 % total cementitious material content
= 407 x 30/100 = 122 kg/m^3
Cement (ordinary Portland cement ) = 407-122 = 285 kg/m^3
Saving of cement while using fly ash = 370 – 285 = 85 kg/ m^3
Fly ash = 122 kg/m^3
5.VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATES AND FINE AGGREGATES
Fine aggregates are sieved according to zone 1 of table 4 IS 383
Coarse aggregates are sieved according to table 2 IS 383
According ,
Table 3 IS 10262: 2009
Nominal size of aggregates = 20 mm
Fine aggregates ( zone 1)
Therefore ,
Volume of coarse aggregate = 0.60
Water cement ratio = 0.4
( +/- 0.01 for every +/- 0.005)
So, volume of coarse aggregate = 0.62
Volume of fine aggregate = 1-0.62 = 0.38
6.MIX CALCULATION :
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION :
TRIAL MIX:
Cement = 285 kg/m^3
Fly ash = 122 kg/m^3
Water = 149 kg
Coarse aggregate = 1189 kg/m^3
Fine aggregate = 728 kg/m^3
Chemical admixture = 7.6 kg/m^3
Water cement ratio = 0.366
Trial mix ratio : 285 :728 : 1189 = 1: 2.55 : 4.17 ( C: FA: CA)
AIM:
To calculate M50 grade without fly ash
EQUATIONS:
f’ck = target mean strength
fck= compressive strength at 28 days of concrete
s = standard deviation ( IS 10262:2009 , table -1)
CODES FOR CONCRETE MIX DESIGN:
OBJECTIVES:
PROCEDURE AND CALCULATION:
F’ck = fck + 1.65 5
fck= 50 N/mm^2 (M50 )
Table 1- IS 10262:2009
s = 5 N/mm^2
f ‘ck = 50 + ( 1.65 x 5)
= 58.25 N/mm^2
2. SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO :
Given :
M50
Assume:
Exposure condition : Extreme ( for reinforced concrete)
Table 5 – IS 456 : 2000
Therefore,
Extreme= w/c ratio= 0.40
M50 = w/c ratio= 0.40
Lower the water cement ratio better the workability
0.40
Water cement ratio = 0.40
Minimum cement content = 360 kg/m^3
3. SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT
Assume :
Nominal size of aggregates= 20 mm
Table 2 -IS 10262: 2009
Minimum water content = 186 litres or kg
Slump ranges from 25 to 50 mm
As superplasticizers (20 % reduced)
= 186 x 80/100 = 148.8 (100-20 = 80)
Water content = 149 litres
4.CALCULATION OF CEMENT CONTENT
Water cement ratio = w/c= 0.40
Water content = W = 149 kg
Cement content = c=149/0.40 = 372.5 = 373 kg/m^3
Minimum cement content = 360 kg/m^3
360< 373 kg/m^3 ( hence okay )
5.VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATES AND FINE AGGREGATES
Fine aggregates are sieved according to zone 1 of table 4 IS 383
Coarse aggregates are sieved according to table 2 IS 383
According ,
Table 3 IS 10262: 2009
Nominal size of aggregates = 20 mm
Fine aggregates ( zone 1)
Therefore ,
Volume of coarse aggregate = 0.60
Water cement ratio = 0.4
(+/- 0.01 for every +/- 0.005)
So, volume of coarse aggregate = 0.62
Volume of fine aggregate = 1-0.62 = 0.38
6.MIX CALCULATION :
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION :
TRIAL MIX:
Cement = 373 kg/m^3
Water = 149 kg
Coarse aggregate = 1235.02 kg/m^3
Fine aggregate = 756.9 kg/m^3
Chemical admixture = 7.6 kg/m^3
Water cement ratio = 0.40
Trial mix ratio : 373 :756.9 : 1235.02 = 1: 2.02: 3.31 ( C: FA: CA)
