h) Free surface moisture

Coarse aggregate-30mm. : 0.00%
Coarse aggregate-20mm. 0.00%
Coarse aggregate-10mm. : 0.00%
Fine aggregate (Rsand) : 0.00%
Fine aggregate (C Sand) : 0.00%
3) TARGET MEAN STRENGTH OF CONCRETE
Minimum Characteristic Flexural Strength is 4.5 Mpa As per MORTH Clause 602.3.3.1
As per IRC 44, the guidelines recommend M40 grade of concrete for construction of normal concrete pavements
Target Compressive Strength for M40 grade concrete = 40 + 12 = 52 N/mm 2
Relationship between Characteristic Compressive strength and Flexural strength as per IS:456 is as follows :
Flexural strength (fcr) = 0.7*√fck = 5.05 N/mm2 > 4.5 N/mm2 , Hence Ok.
Therefore Target Flexural Strength of beams at 28 days : 5.05 N/mm2

4) SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO:

From MORTH 602.3.3.1, Maximum Water-Cement ratio = 0.50
Based on Trial/Experience the Water-Cement Ratio considered : 0.32
Since, 0.32 < 0.50
Hence OK

PROPOSED PQC MIX DESIGN

Trial Mix Designation: PQC / M40 Grade Concrete
5) SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT:
From IRC 44 Table 5, Maximum water content (for 20mm Aggregate) = 186 litre
(By Interpolating the water contents for 20mm & 40mm aggregates)
For 26.5mm Maximum water = 186-((186-165)/20)*6.5) = 179.18 litres
Slump requirement = 10-40 mm
If Superplastisizer is used as water reducing admixture, Water Content can be reduced up to 30 percent
Based on trials let us consider a reduction in Water Content = 20 %
Hence the arrived Water Content = 179.2 x 0.80 = 143.34 Kgs

6) SELECTION OF CEMENTITIOUS CONTENT:

Water-Cement ratio = 0.32
Cementitious (Cement + Flyash) content = Water content / Water-Cement ratio
Arrived Cementitious Content = 451
Flyash content @ 16.1% of total Cementitious Content = 451 x 16.1% = 73 Kg/m3
Cement (OPC) = CC - Flyash = 378 Kg/m3
Minimum Cement content = 310 Kg/m3 < 378 Kg/m3
(As per MORTH 5th Revision Clause No: 602.3.2) Hence, O.K. for M40 PQC

7) PROPOSED MIX PROPORTIONS:

Cementitious content : 451
Cement : 378
Flyash 73
Free water cement ratio : 0.318
Water : 143
Admixture: 1 Dosage : 1.20%
Admixture (Kg/M3) : 5.41
8) DETERMINATION OF FINE & COARSE AGGREGATE CONTENT:
The Coarse aggregates and the Fine aggregates are so blended that that Combined Gradation of Coarse and Fine aggregates is confined to MORTH
5th Revision specification Table No. 600-3.
Therefore volume of coarse aggregate = 55%
Volume of fine aggregate = 45%
Volume of Individual aggregate with respect of all in aggregate
i) 30mm Agg. = 33%
ii) 20mm Agg. = 0%
iii) 10mm Agg. = 22%
iv) R Sand = 0%
v) Crusher Dust = 45%
