This Indian Standard (First Revisio~~) was ad{>ptcdby the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. This standard was first published in 1982. In this lirst rcvisim, the following major modifications have been made: a)

The title of the standard has bum modi ficd [M‘Concw(.c mix proportioning — Guidelines’ from the earlier title ‘Recommcndcd guidcl hws for c(~i]crc[cmix design’.

b) c)

The applicability of the standard hax been spcci[lcd for [Jr~iii]t~ry A st~]i~tlarticoncrete grades only. Various requhxmmnts Imvc been nmdil’iud in Ihw will] [Iw ruquhxmmts o[’ 1S 456 : 20(.)0 ‘Plain and reinforced concrctc — Coded’ prwl iw (&w-th rcvfkim)’. d) The requirements for sclcctkm of water-ccmcnt r~~tk),water content [ml csthnatkm of coarse aggregate content and fine aggregate content hwc bum rcvic~vc(l and ~~cc{)rlel~~entary cen%entitiousmaterials, that is, ~nincml a(lll~ixt~~rg;s shall also be considered in water-cement ratio c[tlcul[ttio~~sin m.xxwdnnccwith Table 5 of IS 456.

3.2.1.2 Assumed standard deviation Where sufficient test results for a particular grade of concrete are not available, the value of standard deviation given in Table 1 may be assumed for the proportioning of mix in the first instance. As soon as the results of samples are available, actual calculated standard d.eviat.ion shall be used and the mix proportioned properly. However, when adequate past records for a similar grade exist and justify to the designer a value of standard deviation different from that shown in Table 1, it shall be permissible to use that value.

4.1.1 The free wtttcr-cc:i~~cntratk~ sclcctcd wxmrding to 4.1 should bc checkw.1against the limiting watercement ratio for the requirements of durability and the lower of the two values adopted. 4.2 Selection of Water Content The water content of concrete is influenced by a number of factors, such as aggregate size, aggregate shape, aggregate texture, workabi~ity, water-cement ratio, cement and other supplementary cementitious material type and content, chemical admixture and environmental conditions. An increase in aggregates size, a reduction in water-cement ratio and slump, and use of rounded aggregate and water reducing admixtures will reduce the water demand. On the other hand increased temperature, cement content, slump, water-cement ratio, aggregate angularity and a decrease in the proportion of the coarse aggregate to fine aggregate will increase water demand.

The quantity of’ maximum mixing water per unit volume of concrete may be determined from Table 2. The water content in Table 2 is for angular coarse aggregate and for 25 to 50 mm slump range. The water estimate in Table 2 can be reduced by approximately 10 kg for sub-angular aggregates, 20 kg for gravel with some crushed particles and 25 kg for rounded gravel to produce same workability. For the desired workability (other than 25 to 50 mm slump range), the required water content may be established by trial or an increase by about 3 percent for every additional 25 mm slump or alternatively by use of chemical admixtures conforming to IS 9103. This illustrates the need for trial batch testing of local materials as each aggregate source is different and can influence concrete properties differently. Water reducing admixtures or supe~lasticizing admixtures usually decrease water content by 5 to 10 percent and

4,3 Calculation of Cementitious Material Content

4.5 Combination Fractions

The cement and supplementary cementitious material content per unit volume of concrete maybe calculated from the free water-cement ratio (see 4.1) and the quantity of water per unit volume of concrete.

of Different

Coarse Aggregate

The coarse aggregate used shall conform to N 383. Coarse aggregates ofdifferent sizes maybe combined in suitable proportions so as to result in an overall grading conforming to Table 2 of 1S383 for particular nominal maximum size of aggregate.

The cementitious material content so calculated shall be checked against the minimum content for the requirements of durability and greater of the two values adopted. The maximum cement content shall be in accordance with IS 456.

4.6 Estimation of Fine Aggregate Proportion With the completion of procedure given in 4A, all the ingredients have been estimated except the coarse and fine aggregate content. These quantities are determined by finding OU[the absolute volume of cementitious material, water and the chemical admixture; by dividing their mass by their respective specific gravity, multiplying by ‘1/1 000 and subtracting the result of their summation from unit volume. The values so obtained are divided into Coarse and Fine Aggregate fractions by volume in accordance with coarse aggregate proportion tdready determined in 4.4. The coarse and fine aggregate contents arc then determined by multiplying with their respective specific gravities and multiplying by 10000

4.4 Estimation of Coarse Aggregate Proportion Aggregates of essentially. the same nominal maximum size, type and grading will produce concrete of satisfactory workability when a given volume of coarse aggregate per unit volume of total aggregate is used. Approximate values for this aggregate volume are given in Tahlu 3 for a watix-cement ratio of 0.5, which may be suitably adjusted for other watcrcement ratios. It can be seen that for eclual workability, the volume of coarse aggregate in a unit volume of concrete is depmd.ent only on its nominal maximum size and grading zone of fine aggregate. Differences in the amount of mortar required for workability with different aggregates, due to differences in particle shape and grading, are compensated for automatically by differences in rodded void content.

5 TRIAL MIXES The calculated mix proportions shall be checked by meami of trial batches.

4.4.1 For more workable concrete mixes which is sometimes required when placement is by pump or when the concrete is required to be worked around congested reinforcing steel, it maybe desirable to reduce the estimated coarse aggregate content determined using Table 3 up to 10 percent. However, caution shall be exercised to assure that the resulting slump, water-

Workability of the Trial Mix No. 1 shall be measured. The mix shall be carefully observed for freedom from segregation and bleeding and iksfinishing properties. If the measured workability of Trial Mix No. 1 is different, from the stipulated value, the water andh admixture content shall be adjusted suitably. With 3

IS 10262:2009 arrived at. The concrete for field trials shall be produced by methods of actual concrete production. ..

this adjustment, the mix proportion shall be recalculated keeping the free water-cement ratio at the pre-selected value, which will comprise Trial Mix No. 2. In addition two more Trial Mixes No. 3 and 4 shall be made with the water content same as Trial Mix No. 2 and varying the free water-cement ratio by A Opercent of the preselected value.

6 Estimated water content for 100 mm slump = 186+ — X186 100 = 197 litre As superplasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced up 20 percent and above. Based on trials with superplasticizer water content reduction of 29 percent has been achieved. Hence, the arrived water content = 197 x 0.71 = 140 litre A-6 CALCULATION

OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE

CONTENT

From Table 3, volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate (Zone 1) for water-cement ratio of 0.50= 0.60. In the present case water-cement ratio is 0.40. Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate is required to be increased to decrease the fine aggregate content. As the water-cement ratio is lower by 0.10, the proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is increased by 0.02 (at the rate of –/+ 0.01 for every & 0.05 change in water-cement ratio). Therefore, corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for the water-cement ratio of 0.40 = 0.62. NOTE — In case the coarse aggregate is not angular one, then also volume of coarse aggregate may be required to be increased suitably, based on experience.

For pumpable concrete these values should be reduced by 10 percent. Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate= 0.62x 0.9= 0.56. Volume of fine aggregate content=

1- 0.56= 0.44.

RATIO

From Table 5 of IS 456, maximum water-cement ratio (see Note under 4.1) = 0.45. Based on experience, adopt water-cement ratio as 0.40. 0.40 c 0.45, hence, O.K. B-5 SELECTION OF WATER CONTENT From Table 2, maximum water content for 20 mm aggregate

= 197 litre

IS 10262:2009 As superplasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced up to 30 percent. Based on trials with superplasticizer water content reduction of 29 percent has been achieved. Hence, the arrived water content = 197 x 0.71 = 140 Iitres. B-6 CALCULAT1ON OF CEMENT AND FLY ASH CONTENT = 0.40

OF VOLUME OF COARSE AGGREGATE AND FINE AGGREGATE

CONTENT

From Table 3, volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate (Zone I) for water-cement ratio of 0.50= 0.60. In the present case water-cement ratio is 0.40. Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate is required to be increased to decrease the fine aggregate content. As the water-cement ratio is lower by 0.10, the proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is increased by 0.02 (at the rate of-/+ 0.01 for every ~ 0.05 change in water-cement ratio). Therefore, corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for the water-cement ratio of 0.40 = 0.62 NOTE — In case the coarse aggregate is not angular one, then also volume of coarse aggregate may be required to be increased suitably, based on experience.

For pumpable concrete these values should be reduced by 10 percent. Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate= 0.62 x 0.9= 0.56. Volume of fine aggregate content= 1 – 0.56= 0.44. B-8 MIX CA~CULATIONS The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as follows: a)
