Project on Concrete Mix Design for various grades of Concrete

M35:with flyash without admixture

1. F'ck=Fck+1.65S

S= 5 from table 8 in IS456:2000

=43.25 N/mm2

2.W/C ratio from table5 in IS 456:2000

0.45 from table based on experience we can adopt 0.40 0.40<0.45 hence ok.

3. Water content from table 2

20 mm aggregate that is 186 litre for 25-50mm slump

Then (6/100)x186=197 litres.

Admixture is adding then 29%is reduced

0.71x197=140 litre

4. Cement content

C=140/0.4 = 350kg/M3

Cementitious material =350x1.10=385 kg/M3

Water content=140 kg/M3

W/C 140/485 =0.364

Flyash 30percentage =385*30%=115 kg/M3

Cement=385-115=270kg/M3

5. By using table 3 in IS 456:2000 W/C ratio 0.6 fir every 0.1 decrease in w/c ratio 0.01 increased in volume of CA and FA

0.4=0.62

Vol of concrete is reduced 10%for pumpable concrete

0.9x0.62=0.56 for CA

1-0.56=0.44 FA

a) volume of concrete= 1m3

b) volume of cement= 270/3.15 x 1/1000= 0.086m3

c) flyash = 115/2.2 X1/1000= 0.052m3

d) volume of water = 140/1 X1/1000 =0.14m3

e) volume of aggregate= (1-(0.086+0.052+0.14))

= 0.722

g) 0.722x0.56*2.74*x1000= 1107 kg/M3

h) 0.722*0.44*2.74*1000= 870kg/M3

M50 without fly ash without admixture

1. F'ck=Fck+1.65S

=58.25 N/mm2

d) volume of aggregate= (1-(0.111+0.14))

= 0.75

g) 0.75x0.56*2.74*x1000= 1150 kg/M3

h) 0.75*0.44*2.74*1000= 904kg/M3
