1 TARGET STRENGTH FOR MIX PROPOTION, Fck=Fck+1.

65s

Where,F = target average compressive stengif at 28 days,Fck=characteristics compressive strength at 28 days,

and,s = standard deviation From Table 1, Standard Deviation, s=5N/mm2 Therefore, target strength 40+
1.65x5-48.25 N/mm2

2 SELECTION OF WATER-CEMENT RATIO

From Table 5 of 15 45h, maximum water-cement ratio =0.45.,,Based on experience, adopt water coment ratio
as 0.40., 0.40<0.45, hence, OK

3 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT

From Table 2, maximum water content for 20mm aggregate=186 lts

Estimated water content for 100 mm stump= 185+(6/100)x186=197litre

As superplastisizer is used, the water content can be reduced upto 30%,Based on thats with superplasticizes
water content reduction of 29 percent has been achieved Hence, the arrived water contest 197 x 0.71=140 lts

4 CALCULATION OF CEMENT AND FLY ASH CONTENT

W/c ratio=0.40,cementatious material content=140/0.40=350kg/m3 ,minimum cement content for severe

condition =320 kg/m3 ,350kg/m3 >320kg/m3 .hence ok

Now, to proportion a mix containing By flyash the following steps are suggested

Cementities material content= 350 x 1.10 =385kg/m3,water content=140 kg/m3,so w/c ratio=140/385=.364

Fly ash 30% of total comenticious material content =385 x 30%=115 kg/m3,Cement (OPC)=385-115=270kg/m3

Saving of cement while using fly ash 350-270=80 kg/m3 and fly ash utilized= 115 kg/m3

5 PROPORTION OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE CONTENT

From Table 3, volume of course aggregate correponding to 20 mm se aggregate and fine aggregate Cine for
water-cement ratio of 0.50=.60,,the present case water-cement ratio is 0.40. Therefore, volume of coarse
aggregate is required to be increased To decrease the fine aggregate content. As the w/c ratio to is lower by
0.10, the proportion of volume if course aggregate is incresed by 0.02. Therefore corrected proportion of
volume of coarse aggregate for the water cement ratio of 0.40=.62,,,,For pumpable concret these values
should be reduced by 10 percent.Therefore, volume of course aggregate=0.62x0.9=.56

Volume of fine aggregate contest= 1-.56=.44

5 MIX CALCULATIONS

a)volume of concrete=1m3

b)volume of cement=mass of cement/specific gravity of cement(1/1000)=270/3.15(1/1000)=.086m3

c)volume of flyash =mass of flyash/ specific gravity of flyasht(1/000)=115/1(1/1000)=.052m3

d) volume of water=mass of water/ specific gravity of water(1/1000)=140/1(1/1000)=.140m3

e)volume of chemical admixture @2% of cementitious material=mass of admixture/ specific gravity of

admixture(1/1000)=7/1.145(1/1000)=.007m3

f)volume of all in aggregate=(a-(b+c+d+e))=1-(.086+.053+.140+.007)=.715m3

g)mass of CA=fxvolume of CA x specific gravity of CA x 1000=.715x.56x2.74x1000=1097kg

h)mass of FA=f x volume of FA x specific gravity of FA x 1000=.715x.44x2.74x1000=862kg
