Grade of Concrete:M 25/20

This document provides the design of a concrete mix with a target mean strength of 20 MPa. It specifies the grades, specific gravities and proportions of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water. Calculations show 357.69 kg/m3 of cement, 549.31 kg/m3 of sand, 1199.56 kg/m3 of aggregate and 186 kg/m3 of water are required to achieve the design mix ratio of 1:1.54:3.35:0.52. The mix is specified as crushed sand and aggregate with ultra 53 grade cement and a water-cement ratio of 0.52.

DESIGN OF CONCRETE MIX

Grade of Concrete:M 25/20 Date :


Size of Aggregate=20mm By Test Lab No: 15
Sp.Gr of Agg(SAgg.)= 2.630
Sp.Gr of Sand(Ssand).= 2.69
Sp.Gr.of Cement(Sc)= 3.150

Ratio of Sand &Agg.(P) Calculation:-


Total Vol = 1 m3
Sand=30~40% Agg.=60~70%
Ps % 35 0.35 Pagg % 65
W/C= 0.45
S/A 100
Wt.of Cement(Wc) Kg/m3 350
Volume of concrete 1 M3
Voids Correct Volume of 2% 0.98 M3

Calculation of Cement and Water:-


Take Cement as per Code of Practies(C) kg.= 350
w/c=0.46
1.Wt. of Cement (Wc) 343.00 kg/m3
2.Vol.of Water(Vw) 154.35 kg/m3

CALCULATION OF FINE AGGREGATE(SAND) REQUIRED:-


V3=(Vw + Wc/Sc + 1/Ps * Fsand/Ssand)*1/1000

Fsand = 674.831 Kg
3.Weight of Sand required(Sw)Kg = 674.83 kg/m3

CALCULATION OF COURSE AGGREGATE REQUIRED:-

V3=(Vw + Wc/Sc + 1/PAgg. * CAgg./SAgg.)*1/1000

CAgg.= 1225.30 kg

4.Weight of Course Aggregate(Aca.),kg 1225.30 kg/m3

Hence,Required quantity of for Mix Design.
