MIX DESIGN FOR M20 GRADE CONCRETE

Design Stipulations:

1. Grade of concrete (designation) = M20

2. Type of cement = OPC 53 grade
3. Minimum nominal size of aggregate
aggr = 20 mm
4. Workability = 75 – 100 mm (slump)
5. Exposure condition = mild
6. Method of concrete placing = normal
7. Degree of supervision = good
8. Specific gravity of cement = 3.10
9. Specific
ic gravity of coarse aggregate = 2.70
10. Specific
ic gravity of fine aggregate = 2.56
11. Sieve analysis = zone 2 (IS 383 – 1970)

Design:

Step 1: Target mean strength

trength

fck = fck + 1.65s From Table 1 of IS 10262 - 2009

= 20 + 1.65 x 4 standard
tandard deviation, s = 4
fck = 26.6 N/mm2
 163

Step 2: Selection of water cement ratio

From Table 5 of IS 456 – 2000

For M20 concrete, maximum w/c ratio = 0.5
Based on experience adopt water cement ratio = 0.5

Step 3: Selection of water content

From Table 2,, of IS 10262 - 2009

Maximum water content for 20 mm aggregate = 186 kg / m3 (for 25 to 50 mm
slump)
Increase 3% of water content for every 25 mm slump range.
To attain max of 100mm slump range = 6% increase in water content
Estimated water content for 100mm
10 slump = 186 + (6/100) (186)
= 197.16 kg / m3

Step 4: alculation of cement content

Calculation

Water cement ratio = 0.5

Cement content = 197.16 / 0.5
= 394.32 Kg / m3
From Table 5, of IS 456 – 2000
Minimum Cement Content for ‘mild’
‘ exposure condition = 300 kg / m3
bove calculate cement content value is > 300 kg / m3
Above
Hence ok

Step 5: Volume of coarse aggregate

regate & fine aggregate content

From table 3 of IS 10262 – 2009, Volume of coarse aggregate corresponding

to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate (Zone II).
 164

For w/c ratio of 0.5 the volume of coarse aggregate per unit volume of total
aggregate is 0.48. Therefore,
Therefore in the present case w/c ratio is 0.5, the corrected
proportion of volumee of coarse aggregate is 0.47(w/c adjustment). As the
water cement ratio is increased by 0.05, the proportion of volume of coarse
aggregate is decreased by 0.01(at the rate of -/+
/+ 0.01 for every ± 0.05 change
in water cement ratio).

Volume of fine aggregate

te content = 1 – 0.62 = 0.38.

er cement ratio is increased by 0.05, the proportion of volume of coarse
aggregate is decreased by 0.01(at the rate of -/+
