2. Calculation of water content

From the table 5 of IS 456-2000, maximum free water-cement ratio for moderate exposure in plain concrete is 0.4

From the table 2 of IS 10262, maximum water content for per cubic metre of concrete for Nominal Maximum Size of Aggrega Estimated water content for 100 mm slump = = 186 + 6/100 197 litres * 186

3 197 kg/m

Required Water Content / Required Water-Cement Ratio 197 / 0.4 493 kg/m

From the table 5 of IS 456-2000, Minimum cement content for moderate exposure in plain concrete is Since 493 kg/m3 > 400 kg/m3. Hence it is ok. i.e. Required Cement Content > Minimum Cement Content 4. Calculation of Weight of Coarse Aggregate and fine Aggregate From table 3 of IS 10262:2009, volume of coarse aggregate corressponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate ( Zone I ) for water-cement ratio of 0.4 = 0.4

In the present case water-cement ratio is 0.60. Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate is required to be increased to decrease the fine aggregate content. As the water-cement ratio is higher by 0.10, the proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is decreased by 0.02 (at the rate of -/+ 0.01 for every +/- 0.05 change in water-cement ratio). Corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for the water-cement ratio of 0.40 a) Volume of concrete b) Volume of fine aggregate = 0.4 m3 0.02 = 0.38 m3
