Sawla - Kako Road Construction Project Contract 2: 70+400 - 122+768 Employer Consultant Contractor

The document details a mix design for Class A concrete to be used in a road construction project in Ethiopia. It provides the proportions of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water needed to produce 1 cubic meter of concrete. Box sizes are then determined for transporting the required amounts of each material for one bag of cement. The sand will require two boxes of size 50cm by 40cm by 12cm. The coarse aggregate sizes 20mm and 10mm will each require two boxes and one box respectively of the specified dimensions.

TCDSC Mix Design for Class'A' Concrete


Concrete Grade = Class'A' (C-25)

Mix design:- (for 1m3 of concrete)


Required Slump = 25-75
Slump achieved during test = 40
Cement (OPC Lucky Pakistan) = 430.0 kg
Aluma River Sand = 610.0 kg
Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 588.0 kg
Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 588.0 kg
Sand unit weight (loose) = 1510 kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(20) unit weight(Loose) = 1400 kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(10) unit weight(Loose) = 1473 kg/m3
Usual specific gravity of cement = 3.15
Required water Content = 215 kg/m3
Box Size Determination
Cement (OPC Lucky) 50.0 kg = 0.036 1 bag
Aluma River Sand 70.93 kg = 0.047 m3 2 box of size(m)= 0.40 0.50 0.12
Coarse Aggregate(20) 68.37 Kg = 0.049 m3 2 box of size(m)= 0.40 0.50 0.12
Coarse Aggregate(10) 68.37 Kg = 0.046 m3 1 box of size(m)= 0.40 0.50 0.23

Lab Batch Mix Design:-


Volume of cylinderical mold = 0.0053 m3
Total Volume of Concrete in the mold = 0.0371 m3

Required Quantity of Ingridients of Concrete for Lab Batch Mix Design


Cement(OPC Lucky) = 15.96 kg
Aluma River Sand = 22.64 kg
Coarse Aggregate(20) = 21.82 kg
Coarse Aggregate(10) = 21.82 kg
Required water content = 7.98 Lt.

Box Size Determination for Class'A' Concrete


Concrete Grade = Class'A' (C-25)

Required Slump = 25-75


Slump achieved during test = 40
Sand unit weight (loose) = 1510kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(20) unit weight(Loose) = 1400kg/m3
Coarse Aggregate(10) unit weight(Loose) = 1473kg/m3
Usual specific gravity of cement = 3.15

Required Proportion of Ingridients to produce 1m3 Concrete

Cement(OPC Lucky Pakistan) 430.0kg


Fine Aggregate (Sand) = 610.0kg
Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 588.0kg
Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 588.0kg
Approximate water content = 215.0Lt.

box size for sand


Loose unit weight of sand = 1400kg/m3
Volume of sand = Mass of sand = 610.0 = 0.404m3
Density of sand 1510
Hence, the total volume of wet sand to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.404m3
Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-
0.404m3 of sand = for 430kg of cement
X = for 50kg of cement
X = 0.404*50/430 = 0.047m3
Hence, the total volume of sand for one bag (50kg) of cement =0.047m3
V = L*W*H

H H

W W
L
0.047 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.235m (For two boxes H = 0.12m)
Hence, we need two boxes of sand of size(50*40*12cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement

box size for Coarse Agg(10 & 20mm size)


Loose unit weight of Coarse Agg(20mm) = 1400kg/m3
Volume of Coarse Agg(20mm) = Mass of Corse Agg(20) = 588.0 = 0.420m3

Page 3 of 7
Density of Corse Agg(20) 1400
Hence, the total volume of Corse Agg(20mm) to produce 1m3 of concrete = 0.420m3

Page 4 of 7
Mix proportion for one bag (50kg) of cement:-
0.420m3 of coarse Agg(20) = for 430kg of cement
X = for 50kg of cement
X = 0.420*50/430 = 0.049m3
Hence, the total volume of coarse Agg(20) for one bag (50kg) of cement =0.049m3
V = L*W*H
0.049 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.244m ( For two boxes H = 0.12m)
Hence, we need two boxes of coarse Agg(20) of size(50*40*12cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement
Similarly, by using loose unit weight of Coarse Aggregate (10mm size) = 1473kg/m3,
The total volume of Coarse Agg(10mm) for one bag(50kg) of cement = 0.046m3
then, V = L*W*H
0.046 = 0.4*.05*H
H = 0.23m
Hence, we need one boxes of coarse Agg(10) of size(50*40*23cm) for one bag(50kg) of cement

For one bag of cement 2 box of size(cm)= 50.0 40.0 12.0 Fine aggregate(Sand)
we need box size of :- 2 box of size(cm)= 50.0 40.0 12.0 Coarse Aggregate(20mm)
1 box of size(cm)= 50.0 40.0 23.0 Coarse Aggregate(10mm)
