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)

W/C Ratio Adopted to produce good workability 0.52

AS Per Table-3 Of IS:10262-2009
5:- Selection of Sand Content : -

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 %

6:- Selection of Water Content : -

As Per Table 2 of IS : 10262-2009 for Maximum Water Content For 20 mm 186 Liter (For 25 to 50 MM slump)
Agg. =
Estimated Of water content 50 mm slump = 186 Liter(As Per IS 10262-2009) clause-4.2
As super plasticizer use, the water content can reduced up to 20 % and Above.

Based on trial with super plasticizer water reduction of 24% has been 186*24%-186 = 143.22 Liter
achieved. Hence, the arrived water content =

7:- Calculation of Cement Content

Water Cement Ratio = 0.52
143.22
Cement Content = 275 Kg./m3
0.52
8:- Volume of Coarse & Fine Aggregate As Per Combined Graph -Table-5 IS 383
20 mm = 0.31
10 mm = 0.31
