    This document outlines the mix design for M25 grade concrete using a maximum nominal aggregate size of 20mm. It specifies the materials and their properties, target compressive strength, and calculations to determine the mix proportions. The key steps are: 1) Selecting a water-cement ratio of 0.45 to achieve the required compressive strength and 75mm slump workability. 2) Calculating the cement content of 424kg/m3 based on the minimum specified and the water-cement ratio. 3) Determining the volume of coarse and fine aggregates based on tables in IS standards, which results in a coarse aggregate volume of 0.63. 4) Performing mix calculations to find the

    A-3 Target strength for mix proportion


    f/ck(after 28 days) = fck+ 1.65 s
    Where,
    f/ck= target average compressive strength at 28 days
    fck = characteristic compressive strength at 28 days
    s = standard deviation
    From IS 10262 2009 table 1 for M25, s = 4
    f/ck= 25+1.65 x 4 = 31.6 N/mm2

    A-4 Selection of water cement ratio


    From table 5 of IS 456:2000, for M 25 concrete maximum free-water
    cement ratio is 0.5
    Take water cement ratio = 0.45 for strength and workability 75mm slump.

    A-5 Selection of water content


    From table 2 IS 10262 2009, for 20mm max aggregate size maximum
    water content = 186 kg
    Estimated water cement ratio for 75mm slump=186+3/100 x186=192 litre

    A-6 Calculation of cement content

    Cement content

    Water cement ratio = 0.45


    189.5
    =192/0.45= 424kg/m3 0.48 =394.80 kg>300 kg( Hence ok)

    From table 5 of IS 456:2000 minimum cement content for moderate


    exposure condition = 424 kg/m3> 300 kg/m3. Hence OK.

    A-7.Proportion of volume of coarse aggregate and


    fine aggregate content
    From 1S 383-1970, zone of fine aggregate = Zone II
    From Table 3 IS 10262: 2009 volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to
    20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate(Zone II) for water cement ratio
    of 0.45 =0.62+(0.01*1)=0.63
