Compressive Strength = fc’ = 22.5 Mpa

Sp. Gravity Of Cement = Sc = 3.15
Sp. Gravity Of Fine Aggregate = Sf = 2.63
Sp. Gravity Of Coarse Aggregate = Sc.a = 2.56
Fineness Modulus Of Fine Aggregate = F.M = 2.72

Slump Value = 75 mm ; Max. Aggregate Size = 24 mm

1) Target Strength :
fcr’ = fc’ + 8.3

2) Cement Type :
Ordinary Portland Cement

3) W/C Ratio :

From Table # 10.8 ; for fcr’=30.8 Mpa : w/c ratio = 0.528 %

4) Workability :

From Table # 10.16(a); Relative Water Content = 192 % (►Slump Test)

From Table # 10.16(b); Non-Air Water Content = 196 kg/m3 (►Max. Aggregate size)

Total Water = Relative Water Content x Non-Air Water Content

Total Water = 180.2 kg/m3
5) %age Air Voids :

From Table # 10.16(b) ; %age Air Voids = 1.6 %

(►Max. Aggregate size)
6) Cement Content :
Total Water = 180.32 kg/m3
w/c ratio = 0.528 %
Cement = Total Water / w/c ratio Cement = 341.52 kg/m3
7) Aggregate Selection :

8) Amount Of Coarse aggregate :

From Table # 10.17 ; we get = 0.668 ; (►For Fineness Modulus )

Bulk Weight = 0.668 x Dr = 0.668 x 1507

Bulk Weight Of Coarse = 1006.68 kg/m3

9) Amount Of Fine aggregate :

Bulk Volume Of Cement = Cement /3.15 = 108.52 kg/m3

Bulk Volume Of Coarse Aggregate = Bulk Weight / Sc.a = 393.33 kg/m3
Bulk Volume Of Water = Total Water = 180.32 kg/m3
Air Entrapped = 1.6 % of 1000 = 16 kg/m3

Total = 697.97 kg/m3

Bulk Volume Of Sand = 1000 – ( Total) = 302.03 kg/m3

Bulk Weight = Bulk Volume Of Sand x Sf = 794.34kg/m3

Bulk Weight Of Fine = 794.34 kg/m3
10) Adjustment Of Water Absorption :

For Coarse Aggregate = Bulk wt. of Coarse x Wc.a /100 = 10.0668 kg/m3
For Fine Aggregate = Bulk wt. of Fine x Wf /100 = 9.532 kg/m3

Total Water = Sum of All Water Calculated

= 199.92 kg/m3

Final Total Water = 199.92 kg/m3

Cement : Sand : Crush

341.52 : 794.34 : 1006.68
1 : 2.33 : 2.95 _
Adjusted w/c Ratio = Final Water/Cement wt. = 199.92/341.52

Adjusted w/c Ratio = 0.585 %

Weight of Concrete

Cylinders = 4 { π/4 x 0.152 x 0.3 x 2400} = 50.9 kg

Cubes = 2 {0.15 x 0.15 x 0.15 x 2400} = 16.2 kg
Columns = 4 {0.1 x 0.1 x 0.5 x 2400} = 48kg
Beams = 4{0.075 x 0.15 x 1.375 x 2400} = 148.5 kg

Total weight of concrete = 263.6 kg

Assuming 5% losses:
Total wt. of concrete = 263.6 x 1.05 = 276.78 kg
= 280 kg
Weight of one batch = 140 kg

Quantities

Cement = 1/6.28 x 140 = 22.3 kg

Sand = 2.33/6.28 x 140 = 51.94 kg
Crush = 2.95/6.28 x140 = 65.8 kg

Water = 0.585 x 22.3 = 13.05 kg
