A-4) Target Mean Strength

Standard deviation obtained from Table - 1 of IS: 10262 - 2009 is 5.0

Hence the Target Mean Strength ft = f ck + K.S
ft =40+ 1.65 x 5.0

= 48.25 N/mm2
Where ft = Target mean compressive strength at 28 days
f ck = Characteristic compressive strength at 28 days
S = Standard deviation
K = 1.65 (Statistical value)
A-5) Selection of Water - Cement Ratio
From MORTH Table 1100-1, maximum water cement ratio = 0.40
Based on trails, adopt water cement ratio as 0.38
0. 38<0.40, hence O.K
A-6) Water & Cement Content
From IS 10262-2009 Table-2, maximum water content = 186 litre (for 25 to 50 mm slump range)
Estimated water content for 175 mm slump = 186+[(15/100)*186]
= 214 litre
As superplasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced up 20 percent and above.
Based on this, we reduced water content of 20 percent. Hence, the arrived water content = 214*0.8 = 171 litre
Water-cement ratio =0.38
Cement content = (171/0.38) = 450 kg/m3
From MORTH Table 1100-1, minimum cement content for Pile concreting = 400 kg/m3
450 kg/m3 > 400 kg/m3, hence O.K.
A-7) Proportion of Volume of Coarse Aggregate and Fine aggregate Content
As per Clause no. 4.4 and Table no.3 of IS:10262-2009, Coarse aggregate volume of total aggregate for
maximum size of aggregate 20 mm and sand with zone 2 for W/C ratio 0.5 is 0.62.
In present case water cement ratio is 0.38 (≈0.40), therefore volume of coarse aggregate required after
correction of W/C ratio 0.64
Volume of Fine Aggregate content is 0.36
A-8) Mix Calculations
a) Volume of Concrete = 1 m3

b) Volume of cement =

= (450/3.15) X (1/1000) = 0.143 m3

c) Volume of Water = X

= (171/1.00) x (1/1000) = 0.171 m3

d) Volume of Admixture =

= (5.4/1.08) X (1/1000) = 0.005 m3

e) Volume of all in Aggregate =

= {1-(0.143+0.171+0.005)} = 0.681 m3
f) Mass of Coarse Aggregate 20mm = 0.681 x 0.64 x 0.50 x Specific gravity of 20mm x 1000

= 0.681 x 0.64 x 0.50 x 2.93 x1000 = 639 Kg

g) Mass of Coarse Aggregate 10mm = 0.681 x 0.64 x 0.50 x Specific gravity of 10mm x 1000

= 0.681 x 0.64 x 0.50 x 2.87 x1000= 625 Kg

h) Mass of Fine Aggregate = 0.681 x 0.36 x Specific gravity of Sand x 1000

= 0.681 x 0.36 x 2.63 x1000 = 645 Kg
