    Preface

    Concrete mix design is a procedure of selecting the suitable ingredients of concrete and their
    relative proportions with an objective to prepare concrete of certain minimum strength,
    desired workability and durability as economically (value engineered) as possible.

    As we decide to go for a concrete mix design, collect the following data beforehand as few
    designs’ stipulation are freezed on the basis of these data.
    MINING CHEMICAL SUPPLIERS
    Preliminary Data for Design Mix as per ACI Method
    Coarse aggregate = subangular crushed stone
    Nominal maximum aggregate size = 3/4" here we take under 19 mm
    Design strength = 30 Mpa
    Specified slump = 3-4"

    Description Cement Coarse Aggregate Fine Aggregate


    Specific Gravity 3.15 2.64 2.58
    Bulk Density _ 1600 Kg/m3 _
    Fines Modules _ _ 2.60

    Step 1: Select the slump


    The choice of slump determines the workability of the mix. Workability encompasses a combination of PCC properties
    that are related to the rheology of the concrete mix: ease of mixing, ease of placing, ease of compacting, ease of
    finishing. You should aim for the stiffest mix that will provide adequate placement. The following table shows some
    typical slump ranges for several different applications.
    As per table 9-6 various types of construction, A slump is 100 mm specified.
    Step 2: Select the NMAS
    The maximum aggregate size will affect parameters such as cement paste content, workability and strength. In general,
    the maximum aggregate size is limited by the dimensions of the finished product and the room available inside the
    formwork, taking into account things such as rebar. If the coarse aggregate is too large the concrete may be difficult to
    consolidate and compact in the forms, resulting in a honeycombed structure or large air pockets.
    Choice of maximum size of aggregate: The maximum size of aggregate of 20 mm is specified.
    Step 3: Estimate of water content and air content:
    From Table 14.5 from ACI 211.1-91 for a slump of 100 mm and a maximum size of aggregate of 20 mm (or 19 mm), the
    water requirement is approximately 205 kg per cubic meter of concrete.
    Step 4: Selection of water/cement ratio:
    From past experience, a water/cement ratio of 0.48 is expected to result in concrete with a compressive strength,
    measured on cylinders, of 30 MPA see (Table 2 ACI 211.1-91). There are no special durability requirements.
    Step 5: Calculation of cement content:
    The cement content is 205/0.48=427 kg/m3.
    Step 6: Estimate of coarse aggregate content:
    1. Volume of concrete = 1 m3
    2. Volume of cement = (Mass of cement / Specific gravity of cement) x (1/100) = (427/3.15) x (1/1000) = 0.135 m3
    3. Volume of water = (Mass of water / Specific gravity of water) x (1/1000) = (205/1) x (1/1000) = 0.205 m3
    4. Total Volume of Aggregates = 1- (b+c) =1- (0.135+0.205) = 0.660m3
    5. Mass of coarse aggregates = d X Volume of Coarse Aggregate X Specific Gravity of Coarse Aggregate X 1000 =
    0.660 X 0.60 X 2.80 X 1000 = 1108.80 kgs/m3
    MINING CHEMICAL SUPPLIERS
    Step 7: Estimate of fine aggregate content:
    1. Mass of fine aggregates = d X Volume of Fine Aggregate X Specific Gravity of Coarse Aggregate X 1000 =
    0.660 X 0.40 X 2.70 X 1000 = 717.12 kgs/m3
