MIX DESIGN
Where,
Ca = Coarse aggregate content,
Fa = Fine aggregate content,
Pf = Sand content as percentage of total aggregates = 0.40
Pc = Coarse aggregate content as percentage of total aggregates
= 0.64
a0 = Percentage of air content ,
As per IS:10262, for 20mm normal size aggregate,
Entrapped air content is 2% = 0.02
Hence,
1000 (1-0.02) = [186+ (380/3.15) + (Fa/2.62*0.40)]
Fa = 706 kg/m3 (say 710 kg/m3)
1000 (1-0.02) = [186+(380/3.15)+ (Ca/2.67*0.71)]
Ca = 1277kg/m3 (say 1280 kg/m3)

APPENDIX 3
The flexural members in a structure are beam and slab. The steel
reinforcements are subjected to corrosion, the service life of beam and slab
will deteriorate faster than any other elements of the structure. The
methodology in calculation of service life is explained here, by taking beam
as the case.
where,
fy = Charateristic strength of steel in N / mm2
fck= Charateristic strength of concrete in N / mm2
Ast = Area of steel in mm2
b = Breadth of the beam in mm
d = Effective depth of the beam.

Where,
t = Service life of structure in years.
D = Permissible loss in diameter of reinforcement in mm
K = Correction factor
R(t) = Corrosion rate at time ( µm/year)
