Computer-Aided Concrete Mix Proportioning

by Sukhvarsh Jerath and lsam A. Kabbani

The hetrogeneous nature of concrete and concrete materials creates
numerous variables which influence the properties of fresh and hard-
ened concrete. In the AC! 2Jl.l-77 method of mix proportioning, a
set of tables obtained from the observation of a large number of trial
mixtures are used. The relationship between the different variables in
these tables are formulated into equations. Simple nonlinear regres-
sion and multiple nonlinear regression equations were used to derive
the relationships between the variables involved. The regression anal-
ysis was done by using the computer program Statistical Analysis
System (SAS). A computer program was writtten for proportioning
the different ingredients of concrete using the derived equations.
Keywords: age-strength relation; aggregates; compressive strength; computer
programs: concretes; curing; mix proportioning; regression analysis; statistical
analysis; temperature; water-cement ratio.
The hetrogeneous nature of concrete and concrete
materials creates numerous variables which influence
the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The pri-
mary objective of mix proportioning is to select suit-
able proportions of the various ingredients of concrete
which will yield fresh concrete of desired placeability
and consistency, and hardened concrete having the
specified strength and durability. In addition, the de-
sired quality of concrete is to be achieved at a reason-
able cost. In the ACI 211.1-77 method of mix propor-
tioning, a set of tables obtained from observing a large
number of trial mixtures are used. The usual procedure
is to interpolate the values in these tables for certain
given material properties of aggregates, the required
slump for fresh concrete, and the compressive strength
for hardened concrete. The relationship between the
different variables in these tables are formulated into
equations by using regression analysis.
REGRESSION ANALYSIS
Regression analysis is a statistical technique for
modeling and investigating the relationship between
two or more variables. In general, suppose that there is
a single dependent variable or response y that is related
to k independent variables, say x,, x2 , • • • , xk. There-
lationship between these variables is called a regression,
equation. This is also called the regression of y on x,,
x2, . . . , xk.
Linear regression
If the relationship between the independent and de-
pendent variables can be expressed as a straight line, it
is called linear regression. This relationship is called
simple linear regression if it involves only one indepen-
dent variable x as shown
(1)
where e is the error between the observations and the
regression line. The intercept bo and the slope b, are un-
known constants.
A regression model that involves more than one in-
dependent variable is called a multiple regression
model. The model
is called a multiple linear regression model with x,, x2 ,
. . . xk as k independent variables. The parameters b
b,, h2, . . . bk are called the regression coefficients and
e is the error. The method of least squares is used 2 to
estimate the regression coefficients, that is, the sum of
the squares of the deviations between the observations
and the regression line is a minimum.
Nonlinear regression
It was found that occasionally the straight line
regression model is inappropriate, determined from the
lack of fit between the given data and the regression
equation. Sometimes it is known from the underlying
theory that the relationship between the variables is
nonlinear. There are two general types of curves, poly-
nomials and exponential or logarithmic, that can be
used as regression equation for nonlinear models . The
relationship

RESULTS
Results obtained by using the various equations de-
rived by regression analysis are shown in Table I, 2,
and 3 and Fig. 1 and 2. The mixing water requirements
for different values of slump and nominal maximum
sizes of aggregate are given in Table 2. The quantities
underlined in this table are calculated from Eq. (lOa)
and (lOb) for non-air-entrained concrete and from Eq.
(11 a) and ( 11 b) for air-entrained concrete. These values
are calculated using the mean slump for a particular
range of slump. The water-cement ratios required for
different given compressive strengths at 28 days are
given in Table 1. The quantities in parentheses are cal-
culated from Eq. (12a) and (12b) for non-air-entrained
concrete and from Eq. (13a) and (13b) for air-en-
trained concrete. The volume of coarse aggregate per
unit of volume of concrete required is given in Table 3
for different values of maximum size of coarse aggre-
gate and fineness modulus of sand. The quantities in
parentheses in this table are calculated from Eq. (14a)
and (14b).
The compressive strength of concrete at different
water-cement ratios and age in days is illustrated in Fig.
1. 5 The dashed lines are plotted using Eq. (15), which
may be used to determine the compressive strength at
any time if the designated 28 days compressive strength
is given. In Fig. 26 the effect of curing temperature on
the percentage compressive strength of concrete based
on the strength of 70 F (21.1 C) for 28 days is given.
The dashed lines are plotted from Eq. (16).
An example of mix proportioning for a non-air-
entrained concrete is given in Appendix A. In this
problem the ACI procedure of mix design is followed
by using Eq. (10), (12), and (14) instead of conven-
tional tables. A trial mix was made from the calculated
proportions. Slump obtained in the lab was 1.9 in.
(48.3 mm) for the fresh mix. The standard 6 x 12 in.
(152 X 305 mm) cylinders were cast and tested accord-
ing to ASTM C 39. 4 The compressive strength obtained
at 28 days was 6500 psi (45.0 MPa). These mix design
calculations using the derived regression equations can
be done with the help of the computer program shown
in Appendix B.

2. The formulas which predict ti,e quantity of water,
water-cement ratio, and the volume of coarse aggregate
for the ACI 211.1-77 method of mix proportioning
show a good fit with the tabulated values. This shows
that the relationships between the various parameters
involved in the concrete mix proportioning are expo-
nential and may lead to the optimizations of the ingre-
dients in a concrete mix. The quality of concrete mix
may be checked by testing standard concrete cylinders
at an early date and comparing the test results with the
value of fc obtained from Eq. (15). If the curing tem-
peratures are different than specified by ASTM 4 then
Eq. ( 16) may be used to predict the compressive
strength of concrete at a particular age for given curing
temperatures.
The equations derived in this paper may be used for
interpolation and to some extent extrapolation of vari-
ables involved in mix proportioning. It is easier to in-
corporate the equations into a computer program than
tables and their interpolation. The effect of tempera-
ture may also be incorporated in mix proportioning us-
ing the derived equations.
