CONCRETE MIX DESIGN FOR GRADE M -20
3 :- Target Mean Strength of Concrete : -
The Target Mean Strength for the M-20 grade concrete 30 Mpa As per MORTH Table 1700 - 5
4:- Selection of Water Cement Ratio : -
Maximum W/C Ratio Permitted 0.55 As per (As per IS 456-2000 Table No.-5)
According to table 3 of IS : 10262-2009 ,the volume of Fine aggregate (Zone-II)for 20 mm MSA is 38 % . But based on
trail for cohesive Mix we are proposing Fine Aggregate 40 %
Based on trial with super plasticizer water reduction of 24% has been 186*24%-186 = 143.22 Liter
achieved. Hence, the arrived water content =
