CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION Concrete is obtained by mixing cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures in required proportions. The mixture when placed in forms and allowed to cure becomes hard like stone.

The hardening is caused by chemical action between water and the cement due to which concrete grows stronger with age.

It is the most widely-used man-made construction material in the world. CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

CEMENT Cement and water forms the „active‟ component of concrete, while the inactive group comprises the fine and coarse aggregates. The cement and water form a paste that hardens and bonds the aggregates together. Types of Cement Although around 18 types of cements are recognized by BIS, more commonly used ones are: • Ordinary Portland Cement 33, 43, & 53 grade OPC, • Blended Cements (PPC and PSC). • Sulphate Resisting Cement (SRC), • Low Heat Portland Cement (LHPC), • Hydrophobic Portland Cement, • Colored Cement (White Cement).

AGGREGATES • They are cheaper than cement and impart greater volume stability and durability to concrete. • The main purpose is to provide bulk to the concrete. • Some of the aggregates may be chemically active. CLASSIFICATION • Geological origin – natural and artificial • Size – fine, coarse and all-in • Shape – rounded, irregular, angular, flaky and elongated • Unit weight – normal-weight, heavyweight and lightweight

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

WATER • The most important and least expensive ingredient of concrete. • One part of the water is used in the hydration of cement to form the binding matrix. • The remaining water affords lubrication and workability to the concrete. • Water-cement ratio depends on the grade of concrete, its workability, durability, nature and type of aggregates etc. • Potable water is ideal for concreting. • Seawater may be used in PCC.

ADMIXTURES Added to the concrete immediately or during mixing to modify its properties in the fresh or hardened state.

Types: • Accelerators - speed up the initial set of concrete. • Retarders – delay the setting time of concrete mix. • Plasticizers and Super-plasticizers - water reducers. • Air entraining admixtures • Water proofers • Pigments • Corrosion-inhibiting chemicals • Antifungal admixtures

TYPES OF CONCRETE MIXES 1.

NOMINAL MIX Mixes of fixed proportions, IS:456-2000 permits nominal mixes for concretes of strength M20 or lower

2.

DESIGN MIX Designed on the basis of requirements of the concrete in fresh and hardened states.

TRIAL MIXES Prepared to verify whether the Design Mix would perform as per the assumptions. If appreciable variation exists, the available alternatives are: 1. directly employ the trial mix proportions at the site 2. modify the trial mix proportions on the basis of intuition and employ the revised proportions at the site 3. prepare further trial mixes incorporating changes in the proportions based on the feedback generated from the previous mix.

American Concrete Institute Method of Mix Design (a) Data to be collected : (i ) Fineness modulus of selected F.A. (ii ) Unit weight of dry rodded coarse aggregate. (iii ) Sp. gravity of coarse and fine aggregates in SSD condition (iv ) Absorption characteristics of both coarse and fine aggregates. (v ) Specific gravity of cement. (b) From the minimum strength specified, estimate the average design strength by using standard deviation. (c) Find the water/cement ratio from the strength and durability points of view. Adopt the lower value. CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

21

(d) Decide the maximum size of aggregate to be used. Generally for RCC work 20 mm and pre-stressed concrete 10 mm size are used. (e) Decide workability in terms of slump for the given job. (f ) The total water in kg/m3 of concrete is determined, corresponding to the selected slump and selected maximum size of aggregate. (g ) Cement content is computed by dividing the total water content by the water/cement ratio.

(h) Select the bulk volume of dry rodded coarse aggregate per unit volume of concrete, for the particular maximum size of coarse aggregate and fineness modulus of fine aggregate. CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

22

( j ) The weight of C.A. per cubic meter of concrete is calculated by multiplying the bulk volume with bulk density. (k ) The solid volume of coarse aggregate in one cubic meter of concrete is calculated by knowing the specific gravity of C.A. (l ) Similarly the solid volume of cement, water and volume of air is calculated in one cubic meter of concrete.

(m) The solid volume of FA is computed by subtracting from the total volume of concrete the solid volume of cement, CA, water and entrapped air. (n) Weight of fine aggregate is calculated by multiplying the solid volume of fine aggregate by specific gravity of F.A.

ACI METHOD: DESIGN EXAMPLE 1 Design a concrete mix for the construction of an elevated water tank. The specified design strength of concrete (characteristic

strength) is 30 MPa at 28 days measured on standard cylinders. Standard deviation can be taken as 4 MPa. The specific gravity of FA and C.A. are 2.65 and 2.7 respectively. The dry rodded bulk density of C.A. is 1600 kg/m3, and fineness modulus of FA is 2.80. Ordinary Portland cement (Type I) will be used. A slump of 50 mm is necessary. C.A. is found to be absorptive to the extent of 1% and free surface moisture in sand is found to be 2 per cent. Assume any other essential data.

FA has surface moisture of 2% Total free surface moisture in FA = (2/100 x 803) = 16.06 kg/m3 Weight of F.A in field condition = 803 + 16.06 = 819.06 kg/m3

2. A mix with a mean 28-day compressive strength of 35 MPa and a slump of 50 mm is required, using OPC. The maximum size of well shaped, angular aggregate is 20mm, its bulk density is 1600 kg/m3 and its specific gravity is 2.64.

ROAD NOTE No. 4 METHOD OF MIX DESIGN Proposed by the Road Research Laboratory, UK (1950) Procedure: 1. The average compressive strength of the mix to be designed is obtained by applying control factors to the minimum compressive strength 2. Water/cement ratio is read from compressive strength v/s w/c

ratio graph 3. Proportion of combined aggregates to cement is determined from tables, for maximum size 40 mm and 20 mm

4. If the aggregate available differs from the standard gradings, combine FA and CA so as to produce one of the standard gradings

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

49

5. The proportion of cement, water, FA and CA is determined from knowing the water/cement ratio and the aggregate/cement ratio. 6. Calculate the quantities of ingredients required to produce 1 m3 of concrete, by the absolute volume method, using the specific gravities of cement and aggregates.

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

50

DRAWBACKS OF ROAD NOTE NO. 4 METHOD 1. Cannot be used directly for the design of air - entrained concrete

2. No recommendations for durability or strength, regarding the water/cement ratio 3. The design tables refer to mixes in which the FA and CA are of the same shape 4. In selecting aggregate/cement ratio, only 3 shapes of aggregates and 4 gradings are recommended.

CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

51

DOE METHOD OF MIX DESIGN Can be used for concrete containing fly ash. PROCEDURE 1. Target mean strength is calculated 2. Select water/cement ratio, from the type of cement and CA. Compare this with the ratio from durability conditions. 3. Decide the water content for required workability 4. Compare the cement content with the minimum cement content value and adopt the higher value 5. Find out the total aggregate content 6. Determine the proportion of FA using the appropriate FA% v/s CA size graph, and find the weight of CA and FA 7. Work out a trial mix.

BIS RECOMMENDED MIX DESIGN METHOD The BIS recommended mix design procedure is covered in IS 10262-82. In line with IS 456-2000, the first revision IS 10262-2009 was published, to accommodate some of the following changes: • Increase in strength of cement • Express workability in terms of slump, rather than the compacting factor • Extend the W/C ratio v/s compressive strength graph
