CONCRETE MIX DESIGN-GRADE M60.

Target strength = 60Mpa Max size of aggregate used = 12.5 mm Specific gravity of cement = 3.15 Specific gravity of fine aggregate (F.A) = 2.6 Specific gravity of Coarse aggregate (C.A) = 2.64 Dry Rodded Bulk Density of fine aggregate = 1726 Kg/m 3 Dry Rodded Bulk Density of coarse aggregate = 1638 Kg/m 3 Step-1-- Calculation for weight of Coarse Aggregate: From ACI 211.4R Table 4.3.3 Fractional volume of oven dry Rodded C.A for 12.5mm size aggregate is 0.68m 3 Weight of C.A = 0.68*1638 = 1108.13 Kg/m 3 Step-2-- Calculation for Quantity of Water: From ACI 211.4R Table 4.3.4 Assuming Slump as 50 to 75mm and for C.A size 12.5 mm the Mixing water = 148 ml Void content of FA for this mixing water = 35% Void content of FA (V) V = {1-(Dry Rodded unit wt / specific gravity of FA*1000)}*100 = [1-(1726/2.6*1000)]*100 = 34.62% Adjustment in mixing water = (V-35)* 4.55 = (34.62 – 35)*4.55 = -1.725 ml Total water required = 148 + (-1.725) = 146.28 ml Step-3-- Calcu
