Cement Concrete Mix Design means, determination of the proportion of the concrete ingredients i.e. Cement, Water, Fine Aggregate,Coarse Aggregate which would produce concrete possessing specified properties such as workability, strength and durability with maximum overall economy.

Methods of Concrete Mix Design
• I.S. Method
• British Method
• A.C.I. Method etc.
![Page 5: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

These Methods are based on two basic assumptions
Compressive Strength of Concrete is governed by its Water-Cement Ratio
Workability of Concrete is governed by its Water Content

![Page 25: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Step V:- Compute the quantity of cement as follows.
Water Cement = ------------- W/C Ratio
= 185 / 0.45 = 411 Kg.
![Page 26: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Step VI:- Then we find the quantities of Fine & Coarse aggregate by absolute volume method.
V = (W+C/Sc+(1/p) * (fa/Sfa)) * (1/1000) - (Eq.1) andV = (W+C/Sc+(1/(1-p)) * (ca/Sca)) * (1/1000) - (Eq.2)
Where
V = Absolute volume of fresh concrete = 1 m3
W = Mass of Water (Kg) per m3 of concrete C = Mass of Cement (Kg) per m3 of concrete p = Percentage of fine aggregate. fa = Mass of fine aggregate ca = Mass of coarse aggregate Sc = Specific gravity of cement. Sfa = Specific gravity of fine aggregate. Sca = Specific gravity of coarse aggregate.
![Page 27: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Substituting the values in Eq(1), we get
1000 = 185 + 411/3.0 + (1/0.36) * fa /2.6)
= 185 + 137 + fa/0.936
= 322 + fa/0.936
fa = (1000 – 322) * 0.936
= 678 * 0.936
= 635 Kg.
![Page 28: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Substituting the values in Eq(2), we get
1000 = 185 + 411/3.0 + (1/0.64) * ca /2.65)
= 185 + 137 + ca/1.696
= 322 + ca/1.696
ca = (1000 – 322) * 1.696
= 678 * 1.696
= 1150 Kg.
![Page 29: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
So the mix proportion works out to be
W : C : fa : ca
= 185 : 411 : 635 : 1150
= 0.45 : 1 : 1.55 : 2.80
This mix will be considered as Trial Mix No.2
![Page 30: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Step VII:- Make slump trials to find out the actual weight of water to get required slump. Make corrections to the water content & %FA, if required.
Step VIII:- Compute 2 more trial mixes with W/C ratios as 0.40 & 0.50, taking %FA as 34% and 38% respectively.
![Page 31: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Trial Mix No. 1:-
Cement = 185 / 0.4 = 462.5 Kg.
Substituting the values in Eq(1), we get
1000 = 185 + 462.5/3.0 + (1/0.34) * fa /2.6)
fa = 584 Kg.
Substituting the values in Eq(2), we get
1000 = 185 + 462.5/3.0 + (1/0.66) * ca /2.65)
ca = 1156 Kg.
So the mix proportion works out to be
W : C : fa : ca
= 185 : 462.5 : 584 : 1156
= 0.4 : 1 : 1.26 : 2.50
![Page 32: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Trial Mix No. 3:-
Cement = 185 / 0.5 = 370 Kg.
Substituting the values in Eq(1), we get
1000 = 185 + 370/3.0 + (1/0.38) * fa /2.6)
fa = 683 Kg.
Substituting the values in Eq(2), we get
1000 = 185 + 370/3.0 + (1/0.62) * ca /2.65)
ca = 1136 Kg.
So the mix proportion works out to be
W : C : fa : ca
= 185 : 370 : 683 : 1136
= 0.5 : 1 : 1.85 : 3.07
![Page 33: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Step IX:- Cast atleast 3 cubes for each trial mix.
Step X:- Test the cubes for compressive strength at 28 days.
![Page 34: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

35
Step XI:- Draw a graph between compressive strength Vs C/W Ratio.
![Page 36: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

37
Step XII:- From the graph, find the W/C ratio for the required target mean compressive strength.
Step XIII:- Calculate the mix proportions corresponding to the W/C ratio, obtained from the graph.
![Page 38: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Final Mix:-From the graph, for a target strength of 390 Kg/Cm2, W/C ratio = 0.47Cement = 185 / 0.47 = 394 Kg.Substituting the values in Eq(1), we get1000 = 185 + 394/3.0 + (1/0.38) * fa /2.6)fa = 675 Kg. Substituting the values in Eq(2), we get1000 = 185 + 394/3.0 + (1/0.62) * ca /2.65)ca = 1123 Kg. So the mix proportion works out to beW : C : fa : ca = 185 : 394 : 675 : 1123= 0.47 : 1 : 1.71 : 2.85

Step XIV:- Check the cement content & W/C ratio against the limiting values given in Table-5 of I.S: 456-2000 for given type of exposure & type of Concrete.
![Page 40: Gl Cc Mix Design 071110](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/55333d935503463b508b4850/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

41
From the table 5 of IS: 456–2000, the minimum Cement content & W/C ratio, For moderate, for RCC are 300Kgs. & 0.5
The Cement content = 394Kgs. > 300Kgs. Hence Ok
The W/C Ratio = 0.47 < 0.5 Hence Ok

Final Mix for RCC-M25:-From the graph, for a target strength of 322 Kg/Cm2, W/C ratio = 0.57 which is > 0.5, So, limit W/C ratio to 0.5 only.Cement = 185 / 0.5 = 370 Kg.Substituting the values in Eq(1), we get1000 = 185 + 370/3.0 + (1/0.38) * fa /2.6)fa = 683 Kg. Substituting the values in Eq(2), we get1000 = 185 + 370/3.0 + (1/0.62) * ca /2.65)ca = 1136 Kg. So the mix proportion works out to beW : C : fa : ca = 185 : 370 : 683 : 1136= 0.50 : 1 : 1.85 : 3.07
