4. Recommended Self Compacting ConcreteMix- M35 Grade

Step 1

Target strength for mix ppportioning= 35 + (1.65 x 5) = 43.25 MPa

Step 2
For a M35 grade concrete,
twlc
required from experience is = 0.34
Step 3
Based on triats with Fosroc Auramix 400, Water contents (a reduction of nearty 14.02/o was
arrived at during the triats) fora stump of 175 mm at the time of production is arrived as 184
kglm3.

Step 4
WaterCementitious ratio = 0.34
Water content 184 kg/m3
Binder Content = 18410.34 = 540 kg/m3
Cement Content = 400 kg/m3
Fty ash Content = 140 kg/m3

Step 5

For pumping concrete and based on experience, votume of the coarse aggregate content to
achieve a cohesive and pumping mix = 0.50

Therefore, votume of the fine aggregate content is 1 - 0.50 = 0.50

Step 6
The mix calcutations per unit votume of concrete are as fottows;

Votume of Cement = 4001 (3.15 x 1000) = 0.127

Votume of Fty ash = 1401 (7.14x 1000) = 0.065
Votume of water = 0.184
Votume of entrapped air in wetconcrete = 0.015 m3
Votume of Admixture (@1 .Z%by the mass of Binder) = (6.481 (1.08.1000)) = 0.006

Note: Maximum dosage of 1.2 % is considered in the design mix for the volume calculation
Votume of atl in aggregate = (1'0.01 5) -(0. 127+0.065+0. 1 84+0.006) = 0.603

Mass of Coarse aggregate 12.5 mm = 0.603 x7.72 x 0.500 x 1000 = 820 kg/m3
Mass of Fine Aggregate - M. Sand = 0.603 x7.56 x 0.500 x 1000 = 772 kglm3

Notes on Design Mix

1. The Design Mix has been carried out using the raw materials supptied. lf there is any change
in the source of the materiats during the actual production other than that supptied to M/s
Hitech Concrete Sotutions Chennai Private Limited, the proportion of the aggregates may
be suitabty changed to obtain a cohesive and pumping mix.
2. Mix indicates adequate stump/ftow retention and concrete may be ptaced in position within
180 minutes from the time of batching/production at the ptant/site

3. The water content given in the design mix is free water, based on saturated surface dry
(SSD) condition. The totat water may be obtained after deducting for moisture in the

aggregates and adding for the absorption of the aggregates

4. Corrections for moilture in the aggregate may be made on a daity basis and at frequent
intervals during rainyrseason

5. Suitabte corrections for the absorption of the aggregates may be carried out before

batching / productio n

6. Specific gravities of the materiats may be evatuated from time to time to avoid any issues
retating to yietd of concrete
7. The dosage of the Superptasticizer may be varied as per the range given in the notes of the
design mix as per the environmental condition prevaiting at the time of
batching / productio n

8. A triat mix may be conducted at the site using the proportions given in the report and

workabitity ascertained immediatety after production

9. ln a project of tonger duration, the properties of the constituent materiats are tikety to
change from time to time. ln such cases, minor modification in the coarse and fine
aggregate contents may be made to ensure a cohesive and pumping mix. However, the
cement content and water to cement ratio are expected to be maintained constant
throughout to ensure the correct strength and long-term durabitity
