    1. The document provides a cement concrete mix design for a class A concrete for the Mekele Town Asphalt Project. 2. Materials include cement from Mesebo Cement Factory, fine aggregate from Wukro sand, and coarse aggregates from Maykeyah. 3. Testing was done to determine properties like specific gravity, absorption, moisture content of the materials. 4. Calculations were shown to determine the volumes and weights of each material on a saturated surface dry basis to achieve the required 80-100mm slump and strength.

    CEMENT CONCRETE MIX DESIGN Class A

    Project: MEKELE TOWN ASPHALT PROJECT


    Concrete mix design for class A
    Required strength
    Required slump=80-100mm
    Nominal maximum size of aggregate

    Material
    Cement=OPC from Mesebo Cement Factory
    Fine Aggregate=Wukro sand
    Course Aggregate (5-10)= Maykeyah
    Course Aggregate (10-20)= Maykeyah

    Data
    Fine Aggregate
    Specific gravity =2.54

    Natural moisture content=0.32%
    Course Aggregate (10-20)
    Specific gravity =2.495
    %Absorption =0.59%
    Moisture content (SSM) =3.4%
    Natural moisture content=0.31%
    Absolute Volume
    ETCA spec 1968 sec 406 =Cement (365/3.15)*1000 =0.1159m3
    Table A1. 5.3.3 =Water: 205/1000 =0.205m3
    Table A1. 5.3.3 =Air: 2/100 =0.2m3
    Total volume of water+Air+cement =0.3409m3

    Table A1.5.3.6 volume of course aggregate for different fineness modulus of fine aggragate

    Course aggregate(10-20)=0.3955*0.75*2.495*1000=740.08Kg
    Adjusted mix with wet base
    Fine Aggregate

    Difference =3.66%
    Coarse Aggregate (10-20)
    Moisture content =3.4%
    %Absorption =0.59%
    Difference =2.18%
    Fine Aggregate =669.54*1.018Kg/m3=681.59Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(5-10)=264.19*1.022Kg/m3 =270Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(10-20)=740.08*1.009Kg/m3 =746.66Kg/m3
    water 205-(669*0.018+264.19*0.022+740.08*0.09) =120.53 Lt/m3
    Adjusted for mix design(SSM) of 1m3 batch
    water =120Kg/m3
    Cement =365Kg/m3
    Fine Aggregate =682Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(5-10)=270Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(10-20)=746Kg/m3
    Slump =80-100mm
    Adjusted proportion of the mix on SSD bases for 1m3
    water =(120+85)=205Kg/m3
    Fine Aggregate =(681.59-12.05)=669Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(5-10)=(270-6)=264Kg/m3
    Coarse Aggregate(10-20)=(746.66-6.58)=740Kg/m3
    For the lab batch of 0.03m3 of concrete (SSM)
    water =3.6Kg
    cement =10.95Kg
    Fine Aggregate =20.07Kg
    Coarse Aggregate(5-10) =7.92Kg
