3. TARGET MEAN STRENGTH Using table 8 of IS 456- 2000 the target mean strength of the cube in N/mm2 for a tolerance factor of 1.65 hence 15 + (3.5 x 1.65 ) 4. SELECTION OF WATER CEMENT RATIO From IS : 456 table 5, maximum water cement ratio Based on Exrerience adopted water cement ratio 60 = 60 5. SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT From table 2, ( 10262 - 07 ) max water content i) for 20 mm aggregate for 25 to 50 mm slump ii) Estimated water for slump (mm) 100 186 + ( 186/100) x 4 Using Plastisizer, the water content can be iii) reduced upto 30% Based on trails and requirements, the water content is reduced to 13.15% hence water content 6.
