The document provides the mix design for M35 grade concrete. It specifies materials like cement, aggregates and admixtures. It describes the process to determine the mix proportions including water-cement ratio, cement and aggregate contents. The target mean strength is 43.25 N/mm2. The final mix proportions are cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate: water in the ratio of 1:1.73:3.26:0.42.

MIX DESIGN OF M35 GRADE CONCRETE
Stipulations for proportioning :-
Grade of designation = M35 Type of cement = OPC 53Grade Slump = 50mm Method of concrete placing = Non-Pumpable Exposure Condition = Moderate Degree of supervision = Good Type of aggregate = Crushed angular aggregate Chemical admixture type = Super-Plasticizer Max.Size of Aggregate = 20mm
Test data for materials:-
Specific Gravity a. Cement = 3.14 b. Coarse aggregate 20mm = 2.73 c. Coarse aggregate 12mm = 2.61 d. Fine aggregate = 2.58 e. Super-Plasticizer = 1.2
Target strength of mix proportioning :-
Mean target strength = Fck + ( 1.65*S ) Standard deviation (S) = 5 N/mm2 = 35 + ( 1.65*5 ) = 43.25 N/mm²
Approximate Air content :-
The approximate air content for normal concrete is 1.0 percent for 20 mm nominal maximum size of aggregate.
Selection of water-cement ratio :-
Adopt water-cement ratio = 0.42 From Table – 5 of IS 456 for moderate exposure condition Maximum water cement ratio = 0.45 0.42 < 0.45 . Hence ok. Selection of water content :- For Nominal size of 20mm aggregate, 50mm slump Water content per m3 of concrete = 186 kg As,super-plasticizer is used,reduce water content. Based on trial data, the water- content reduction of 25 percent is considered while using superplasticizer at the rate of 1.0 percent by weight of cement. Hence the water content = 186 * 0.75 = 139.5 Kg ~ 140 Kg
Calculation of cement content :-
Water cement ratio adopted = 0.42 Water content = 140 litres 140 Cement content = 0.42 = 333.33 kg / m3 Adopt cement content = 380 kg/ m3 Revised water content = 0.42*380 = 160Kg Therefore,adopted water content = 160Kg
Proportioning of volume of C.A and F.A content :-
Volume of coarse aggregate = 0.64 Volume of fine aggregate = 1- 0.64 = 0.36
Mix calculations :- a) Volume of concrete = 1m3 b) Volume of entrapped air = 0.01m3 c) Volume of cement = ( mass of cement / sp. Gravity of cement ) (1/1000) = ( 380 / 3.14) * ( 1 / 1000 ) = 0.121 m3 d) Volume of water = ( mass of water /sp. Gravity) (1/1000) = (160 / 1 )*(1 / 1000 ) = 0.160 m3 e) Volume of all in aggregates = (a- (b+c+d)) = (1-(0.01+0.121+0.160 ) ) = 0.709 m3 e) Mass of coarse aggregate = d*vol of CA* sp. gravity*1000 = 0.709*0.64*2.73*1000 = 1239 kg
f) Mass of fine aggregate = d* vol of FA*sp. gravity*1000
= 0.709*0.36*2.58* 1000 = 659 kg
Mix Proportion :- i. Cement = 380 Kg ii. Water = 160 Kg iii. Fine aggregate = 659 Kg iv. Coarse aggregate = 1239 Kg
