Target mean strength
Mix proportioning for trial
Cement =399 kg/m3
Water = 191.58 kg/m3
Fine aggregate = 650.62 kg/m3
Coarse aggregate = 1222.14 kg/m3
Weight density =399 + 191.58 + 650.62 + 1222.14
= 2463.34 kg/m3
W/c ratio = 0.48
Field correction
Fine aggregate quantity = 650.62kg/m3
Absorption = 1.27 %
Quantity of absorption = 1.27/100 x 650.62
= 8.26 kg/m3
Surface moisture= 0.403 %
Quantity of surface moisture = 0.403/100 x 650.62
= 2.62 kg/m3
Weight of fine aggregate in field condition = 650.62 + 8.26 – 2.62
= 656.26 kg/m3
Coarse aggregate quantity = 1222.14 kg/m3
Quantity of absorption = 4.02/100 x 1222.14
= 49.13 kg/m3
Quantity of surface moisture = 2.378/100 x 1222.14
= 29.06 kg/m3
Weight of coarse aggregate in field condition
= 1222.14 + 49.13 – 29.06
= 1242.21 kg/m3
Concrete Mix Design for M40 Grade
As per our test we conclude that all results satisfy the requirement of IS 10262-2009.Our Mix design satisfies the IS requirement. Hence we can proceed further for casting slabs.From the results, we can conclude that the cost of Bubble Deck is less as compared to conventional slabs.Hence, it is suitable for construction in terms of cost, quality and maintenance.
