    Aqeel Ali
    The document outlines the procedure for concrete mix design and casting samples for strength tests. It discusses the objectives of mix design as determining an economical combination of materials to meet performance requirements like strength and durability. Samples are cast in molds like cylinders and cubes. The procedure involves 9 steps, including determining the required compressive strength, slump, water-cement ratio, cement content, coarse aggregate volume, fine aggregate weight, total water needed, and final mix ratios. The goal is to develop concrete that satisfies the design strength through an optimized mix of ingredients.

    Job # 1
    Concrete Mix Design And Casting Of Sample For Different Test
    Code: ACI 211.1

    Objective of concrete mix design:


    To determine the most economical and practical combination of available materials

    Aggregates, cements, water, admixtures, etc. To produce a concrete that will satisfy the
    Performance requirements which include but not limited to.
    o Strength
    o Durability
    o Workability

    Apparatus:
    Moulds for samples to be prepared
    a. Cylinders (150mm (dia) x 300mm (length))
    b. Cubes (150mm x 150mm x 150mm)
    Concrete mixer
    Weighing balance
    Temping rod

    Related Theory:

    Portland cement concrete (PCC):


    It is mixture of binding material (cement), Aggregates (fine & Coarse) and water. There may bea
    Host of other materials, called additives. These include air entraining agents, accelerators,
    Decelerators, coloring agents such as carbon black, fly ash, pozzolanz, silica fume, water-
    Reducing agents, super-plasticizers, among others.

    Cementing Materials:
    Any material that can be made plastic and that gradually hardens to form an artificial stone like
    Substance is called a cementatious material. Hydraulic cements, namely Portland and natural,
    Along with limes, fly ash, and silica fume, is currently the principal cementing materials used in

    Structures.
    The most frequently used cements are as follows:
    Type I: normal or general purpose
    Type II: moderately sulfate resistant
    Type III: high early strength
    Type IV: low heat of hydration
    Type V: sulfate resistant

    Aggregates:
    Aggregates are the inert particles that are bound together by the cementing agent (such as
    Portland cement) to form a mortar or a concrete
    Coarse Aggregates:
    Coarse aggregates constitute the largest portion of the concrete. The main purpose of coarse
    aggregates is to provide strength. In normal strength concrete compressive strength is mainly
    contributed by the coarse aggregates. These are the particles retained on sieve # 4 (with an
    opening of 5mm).

    Fine Aggregates:
    Fine aggregates are those aggregates which pass from sieve # 4 (whose dia is less than 5mm) and
    retained on the sieve # 200.

    Concrete:
    Concrete is a manmade rock.it is a mixture of fine aggregate, coarse aggregates, binding
    material, and water.

    Parameters required for the concrete mix design:


    o Specific compressive strength
    o Required slump
    o Maximum aggregate size
    o Fineness modulus
    o Specific gravity of fine and coarse aggregates
    o Bulk density of coarse aggregates
    o Absorption capacity of coarse and fine aggregates
    o Exposure condition

    Procedure:
    Step # 1:
    Determine required/design compressive strength,
    1. = + 7.0Mpa for < 21Mpa
    2. = + 8.3Mpa for = 21 to 35Mpa
    3. = 1.10 +5.0Mpa for >35Mpa
    Step # 2:
    Find the slump based on
    o Workability
    o Type of structure
    Step # 3:
    Water and Air content
    Water and air content depends upon
    o Amount of air entrained
    o Shape of aggregates
    Step # 4:
    Water cement ratio (/)
    Water cement ratio depends upon target compressive strength
    Step # 5:
    Find Cement content

    Amount of cement C (kg/ m3 of concrete) = /
    Step # 6:
    Coarse Aggregates
    Find bulk volume of coarse aggregates and it depends upon
    o Size of aggregates
    o Fineness modulus of fine aggregates

    = (1 + 0.01) x Density x Volume


    = weight of Aggregates
    Step # 7:
    Calculate weight of fine aggregate:

    = (1000 (w + + +))

    o = weight of fine aggregates


    o = specific gravity of fine aggregates

    PRC 2 LAB MANUAL

    o = specific gravity of cement


    o = specific gravity of coarse aggregates
    o = Air entrained
    o W = weight of water
    Step # 8:
    Extra water
    = Absorb Capacity x + Absorb Capacity x + W
    Step # 9:
    Mix Ratio
