    The document provides a mix design for M35 grade concrete for pile foundations. The mix design specifies a water cement ratio of 0.43 and a target mean strength of 38.15 MPa. The mix proportions are 400 kg of cement, 172 kg of water, 642 kg of sand, 1165 kg of coarse aggregate with 619 kg being 20mm aggregate and 546 kg being 10mm aggregate. Water reducing admixture of 0.3% by weight of cement is also specified to achieve a slump of 150-190 mm.

    Mix Design For M35 Grade Of Concrete


    T he mix design f or M35 Grade Of Concrete f or pile f oundations provided here is f or ref erence purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other f actors. Grade of Concrete : M35 Characteristic Strength (Fck) : 35 Mpa Standard Deviation : 1.91 Mpa* Target Mean Strength : T.M.S.= Fck +1.65 x S.D. (f rom I.S 456-2000) = 35+ 1.651.91 = 38.15 Mpa Test Data For Material: Aggregate Type : Crushed Specific Gravity Cement : 3.15 Coarse Aggregate : 2.67 Fine Aggregate : 2.62 Water Absorption: Coarse Aggregate : 0.5% Fine Aggregate : 1.0 % MIX DESIGN Take Sand content as percentage of total aggregates = 36% Select Water Cement Ratio = 0.43 f or concrete grade M35 (From Fig 2. of I.S. 10262- 1982) Select Water Content = 172 Kg (From IS: 10262 f or 20 mm nominal size of aggregates Maximum Water Content = 186 Kg/ M3 ) Hence, Cement Content= 172 / 0.43 = 400 Kg / M3 Formula f or Mix Proportion of Fine and Coarse Aggregate: 1000(1-a0) = {(Cement Content / Sp. Gr. Of Cement) + Water Content +(Fa / Sp. Gr.* Pf )} 1000(1-a0) = {(Cement Content / Sp. Gr. Of Cement) + Water Content +Ca / Sp. Gr.* Pc )} Where Ca = Coarse Aggregate Content Fa = Fine Aggregate Content Pf = Sand Content as percentage of total Aggregates = 0.36 Pc = Coarse Aggregate Content as percentage of total Aggregates. = 0.64

    a0 = Percentage air content in concrete (As per IS :10262 f or 20 mm nominal size of aggregates air content is 2 %) = 0.02 Hence, 1000(1-0.02) = {(400 /3.15) + 172 +(Fa / 2.62 x 0.36)} Fa = 642 Kg/ Cum As the sand is of Z one II no adjustment is required f or sand. Sand Content = 642 Kg/ Cum 1000(1-0.02) = {(400 /3.15) + 172 +(Ca / 2.67 x 0.64)} Hence, Ca = 1165 Kg/ Cum From combined gradation of Coarse aggregates it has been f ound out that the proportion of 53:47 of 20 mm & 10 mm aggregates produces the best gradation as per IS: 383. Hence, 20 mm Aggregates = 619 Kg And 10 mm Aggregates = 546 Kg To obtain slump in the range of 150-190 mm water reducing admixture brand SP430 f rom Fosroc with a dose of 0.3 % by weight of Cement shall be used. Hence the Mix Proportion becomes: Units Kg/ M3 Cem 400 1 W/C 0.43 Water 172 0.43 Sand 635 1.6 20mm 619 1.547 10mm 564 1.36 Admix 1.2 0.003 Cement : Sand: Coarse Aggregates = 1 : 1.6 : 2.907 We are thankf ul to Er. Ishan Kaushal f or this valuable inf ormation.
