    This document contains two trial mix designs for Class C concrete with a target strength of 27 MPa. The first mix uses 320 kg/m3 of cement and has a water-cement ratio of 0.58. The second mix uses 340 kg/m3 of cement and 197.2 kg/m3 of water. Both mixes meet the required slump of 25-75 mm. Lab batches were developed from the mix designs to test concrete cylinders.

    Analysis of Trial Mix Design for Class'C' Concrete by Absolute Volume Basis
    Concrete Grade = Class'C' (C-20)
    Required average strength = 20.0MPa
    Target average strength = 27.0MPa
    Required Slump (consistency) = 25-75 mm
    Combined maximum size aggregate = 37.5mm
    Specific gravity of cement = 3.15
    Dry Roaded mass of coarse agg(37.5mm) = 1660kg/m3
    Dry Roaded mass of coarse agg(10mm) = 1530kg/m3
    Bulk specific gravity of coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 2.78
    Saturated surface dry dens. (SSD) of coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 2.83
    Bulk specific gravity of coarse aggregate(10mm) = 2.72
    Saturated surface dry dens. (SSD) of coarse aggregate(10mm) = 2.77
    Bulk specific gravity of fine aggregate(sand) = 2.58
    Saturated surface dry dens.(SSD) of fine aggregate(sand) = 2.64
    Apsorption of coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 1.60%
    Apsorption of coarse aggregate(10mm) = 1.69%
    Apsorption of fine aggregate(sand) = 2.03%
    Moisture content of coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 0.60%
    Moisture content of coarse aggregate(10mm) = 0.70%
    Moisture content of fine aggregate(sand) = 0.79%
    Loose unit weight of blended coarse aggregate = 1520kg/m3
    Loose unit weight of coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 1450kg/m3
    Loose unit weight of coarse aggregate(10mm) = 1470kg/m3
    Loose unit weight of fine aggregate(sand) = 1510kg/m3
    Finess moduless of fine aggrgate (sand) = 2.83
    Estimate of Water and Cement Content
    Approximate mixing water content for slump 25 to 75mm = 186Lt./m3
    From ACI Table A1.5.3.3, (207+166) = 186Lt.
    2
    From ACI Table A1.5.3.4(A),
    The water-cement ratio for non-air-entrained concrete with strength of 27.0MPa =0.58
    The required cement for mixing = 186/0.58 = 320kg/m3
    So, let we use a maple-leaf cement of 320kg for 1m3 of concrete

    Estimate of Coarse Aggregate and Fine Aggregate(Sand) content


    Volume of coarse aggregate per unit volume of concrete =0.71 (from ACI Table A1.5.3.6)
    The required dry mass of coarse aggregate = 0.71*1660 = 1180kg/m3
    But we are going to use blended coarse aggregate of 60% from Agg(37.5mm) and 40% from Agg(10mm)
    to produce 1m3 of concrete
    i.e. Coarse aggregate(10mm size) = 40%*1180 = 472kg
    Coarse aggregate(37.5mm size) = 50%*1180 = 590kg
    Fine aggregate = 10*1180 = 118kg
    Estimate of Fine Aggregate(Sand) content
    The required fine aggregate will be determined on the basis of absolute volume as shown below:-
    To calculate the mass of Fine Aggregate(Sand) we need first to
    calculate the volume of all other ingredients:-
    Volume of water = 186/1000 = 0.186m3
    Volume of cement = 320/(3.15*1000) = 0.102m3
    Volume of coarse aggregate(10) = 472/(2.72*1000) = 0.174m3
    Volume of coarse aggregate(37.5) = 590/(2.78*1000) = 0.212m3
    Volume of fine aggregate = 118/(2.58*1000) = 0..046m3
    Volume of entrapped air = 1/100 = 0.01m3
    Hence, total volume of ingredients except Fine Aggregate(Sand) = 0.73m3
    Therefore, the required ingredients of fine Aggregate(sand) = 1 - 0.730 = 0.270m3
    The required dry mass of fine Aggregate(Sand) = 0.272*(2.58*1000) = 690kg

    Page 5 of 9
    From the various steps, we can list the estimated mass of each of
    the ingredients in kilograms per cubic meter of concrete as follows:-
    Cement(OPC Maple-Leaf ) = 320.0kg
    Fine Aggregate (Sand) = 808.0kg
    Coarse Aggregate(37.5mm) = 590.0kg
    Coarse Aggregate(10mm) = 472.0kg
    Approximate water content = 186.0Lt.

    Adjusted Aggregate masses for Moisture content


    Coarse aggregate(37.5mm) = 590.0+ Wt. of moisture
    = 590.0+(590.0*0.60/100) = 593.54kg
    Coarse aggregate(10mm) = 472.0+ Wt. of moisture
    = 472.0+ (472.0*0.34/100) = 475.30kg
    Fine aggregate(sand) = 808.0+ Wt. of moisture
    = 808.0+ (808.0*0.79/100 = 814.38kg
    Water Absorbed by Aggregates
    Water Absorbed by aggregates(37.5) = 1.60 - 0.6 = 1.0%
    Water Absorbed by aggregates(10) = 1.69 - 0.70 = 0.99%
    Water absorbed by fine aggregate(sand) = 2.03 - 0.79 = 1.24%
    The estimated requirment for added water, therefore, becomes
    186 + 590(0.01) + 472(0.0099) + 808(0.0124) = 206.6Lt.

    The estimated mass of each of required ingredients in kilograms


    per cubic meter of concrete as follows:-
    Cement(OPC Maple-Leaf ) = 320.0kg
    Fine Aggregate (Sand) = 814.38kg
    Coarse Aggregate(37.5mm) = 593.54kg
    Coarse Aggregate(10mm) = 475.30kg
    Approximate water content = 206.6Lt.

    Page 6 of 9
    Box Size Determination
    Box size for sand
    Loose unit weight of sand = 15100kg/m3
    Volume of sand = Mass of sand = 814.38 = 0.539m3
    Density of sand 1510.0
    Hence, the total volume of wet sand to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.539m3
    Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-
    0.539m3 of sand = for 320kg of cement
    X = for 50kg of cement
    X = 0.539*50/320 = 0.084m3
    Hence, the total volume of sand for one bag (50kg) of cement = 0.084m3
    V = L*W*H

    W
    L
    0.084 = 0.4*.05*H
    H = 0.421m (For two boxes H = 0.21m)
    Hence, we need two boxes of sand of size(40*50*21cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement

    Box size for Coarse Aggregate(37.5mm)


    Loose unit weight of Combined Coarse Aggregate = 1520kg/m3
    Volume of Combined Coarse Agg= Mass of Corse Agg = 593.54 = 0.390m3
    Density of Corse Agg 1520.0
    Hence, the total volume of combined corse agg to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.390m3

    Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-


    0.390m3 of combined coarse Agg = for 320kg of cement
    X = for 50kg of cement
    X = 0.390*50/320 = 0.061m3
    Hence, the total volume of combined coarse agg for one bag (50kg) of cement =0.061m3
    V = L*W*H
    0.061 = 0.4*.05*H
    H = 0.31m ( For three boxes, H = 0.16m)
    Hence, we need three boxes of combined coarse agg) of size(40*50*16cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement
    Similarly, by using loose unit weight of Coarse Aggregate (10mm size) = 1470kg/m3,
    The total volume of Coarse Agg(10mm) for one bag(50kg) of cement = 0.051m3
    then, V = L*W*H
    0.051 = 0.4*.05*H

    Page 7 of 9
    H = 0.25m
    For one bag of cement 2 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 21.0 Fine aggregate(Sand)
    2 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 16.0 coarse Aggregate(37.5mm)
    we need box size of :- 1 box of size(cm)= 40.0 50.0 25.0 coarse Aggregate(10mm)

    Laboratory Batching Mix Design:-


    Total volume of cylinderical mold = 0.0053m3
    Total volume of concrete in the mold = 0.0424m3

    Estimate of Fine Aggregate(Sand)
    814.38kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424*814.38 =34.53kg
    Estimate of coarse aggregate(37.5mm size)
    593.54kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424*593.54 =25.17kg
    Estimate of Coarse Aggregate(10mm size)
    475.30kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424*475.30 =20.15kg
    Estimate of approximate water content
    206.6kg cement = 1m3 of concrete
    X = 0.0424m3 of concrete
    X 0.0424*206.6= 8.73Lt.
    Required ingredients to produce 0.0424m3 of concrete as follows:-

    Cement(OPC Maple) = 13.57kg


    fine Aggregate(Sand) = 34.53kg
    Coarse Aggregate(37.5) = 25.17kg

    Page 8 of 9
    Coarse Aggregate(10) = 20.15kg
    Approximate water content = 8.76Lt.

    Note:- for the other trial mix designs exactly the same procedures are made to produce 1m 3 of concrete
    within the required specification.
