Target Mean Strength of Concrete :
Target Mean Strength of Concrete
f ' ck = f ck + 1.65 S
or
f ' ck = f ck + X , Whichever is higher .

f ' ck = Target avgerage compressive strength at 28 days ,

f ck = Characteristic compressive strength at 28 days ,
S = Standard Deviation
X = Factor based on grade of concrete .
From Table 1 of IS 10262 : 2019 , Value of factor X = 6.5 N/mm2
From Table 2 of IS 10262 : 2019 , standard deviation , S = 5.0 N/mm2
Therefore , Target mean using both equations , that is
f ' ck = f ck + 1.65 S = 50 + 1.65 X 5.0 = 58.25 N/mm2
Where f ' ck = f ck + X = 50 + 6.5 = 56.50 N/mm2
The higher value is to be adopted . Therefore , target average compressive strength is , f ' ck = 58.25 N/mm2
Selection of Water Cementitious Ratio ( w/cm ):

As per Table 5 , IS 456 : 2000 , maximum water cementitious ratio permisible = 0.50
Based on Experience we adopt water cementitious ratio as = 0.30 OKAY. LOWER THE W/C HIGHER THE
DURABILITY. BUT THE COARSE
0.30 < 0.50 , Hence O.K AGGREGATE MUST BE ANGULAR AS PER
CLAUSE 5.3 FROM IS 10262-2019. HOPE THE
EXPERIENCE ALSO CONSIDERED THE
Selection of Water Content : LOCAL ATMOSPHERIC TEMPARATURE!
As per Table 4 ,IS 10262 : 2019 Maximum water content for MSA 20 mm = 186 Kg ( for 50 mm Slump )
Hence , Estimated water content for 175 mm Slump = 214 Kg
As super plasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced up to 26 % and above .
Based on Lab Trials , corrected free water content for the mix is = 168 Kg

Calculation of Cementitious Content :

Water Cementitious ratio = 0.30
Cementitios content = 560 Kg/m3 > 300 Kg/m3 , Hence , O.K
Cement content = 450 Kg/m3
ACCEPTED.
Fly Ash content = 110 Kg/m3

From Table 5 of IS 456 : 2000 , minimum cementitious content for Moderate Exposure condition = 300 kg/m3

Proportion of volume of Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate Content :

From Table 5, IS 10262 :2019 ,volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate of ZONE II
For water cementitious ratio of 0.50 = 0.62 , Adopted water – cementitious ratio is = 0.30
Therefore corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for w/cm ratio of 0.30 = 0.66
Considering higher workability, coarse aggregate volume need to reduce by 10% [ Based on Experience ]
Therefore , volume of Coarse aggregate = 0.594
Volume of Fine aggregate = 0.406
Mix Calculation as per IS 10262 : 2019 :
The mix Calculation per unit Volume of concrete shall be follows :

H ) Weighted Average Specific Gravity of Coarse Aggregate
= ( % of 20mm Aggregate X Specific Gravity of 20mm Aggregate + % of 10mm Aggregate X Specific Gravity of 10mm Aggregate )
= ( 60% X 2.820 + 40% X 2.820 ) = 2.820

# Mass of 20 mm Aggregate = [ 1046 X 60% ] = 627.5 Kg

# Mass of 10 mm Aggregate = [ 1046 X 40% ] = 418.3 Kg

Remarks : Based on result obtain regarding Slump & the compressive strength at 7 days and 28 days.
The observations & test results mentioned above are based on a Lab trial conducted at firstchoice readymix Plant Lab.
The results may vary in actual situation. However the test results of actual concrete will conform to the requirements of IS
or as specified.
Note : Necessary moisture correction needs to be taken during production at batching plant.
Note -The per cum content mentioned in Kg may vary during production , for Cement upto (+/- 2%) and for other
materials upto (+/- 3%) as per IS 4926 : 2003 (Annex E , Clause no 9.1.2 & 9.1.3 )without prior information to the
customer and without effecting the actual character of the product. Redosing of admixture up to 0.25% can be done at site
if workability is found lower than requirement. Design Mix specified by customer. REDOSING OF EITHER ADMIXTURE
OR WATER IS NOT PERMISSIBLE AT
