Mix Design for M-40 Concrete
The mix design M-40 grade for Pier (Using Admixture – Fosroc) provided here is for reference purpose only. Actual site conditions vary and thus this should be adjusted as per the location and other factors.
Parameters for mix design M40
Grade Designation = M-40Type of cement = O.P.C-43 gradeBrand of cement = Vikram ( Grasim )Admixture = Fosroc ( Conplast SP 430 G8M )
Fine Aggregate = Zone-IISp. Gravity Cement = 3.15Fine Aggregate = 2.61Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 2.65Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 2.66Minimum Cement (As per contract) = 400 kg / m3
Maximum water cement ratio (As per contract) = 0.45
Mix Calculation: -
1. Target Mean Strength = 40 + (5 X 1.65) = 48.25 Mpa
2. Selection of water cement ratio:-Assume water cement ratio = 0.4
3. Calculation of cement content: -Assume cement content 400 kg / m3
(As per contract Minimum cement content 400 kg / m3)
4. Calculation of water: -400 X 0.4 = 160 kg Which is less than 186 kg (As per Table No. 4, IS: 10262)Hence o.k.
5. Calculation for C.A. & F.A.: – As per IS : 10262 , Cl. No. 3.5.1
V = [ W + (C/Sc) + (1/p) . (fa/Sfa) ] x (1/1000)
V = [ W + (C/Sc) + {1/(1-p)} . (ca/Sca) ] x (1/1000)
Where
V = absolute volume of fresh concrete, which is equal to gross volume (m3) minus the volume of entrapped air ,
W = mass of water ( kg ) per m3 of concrete ,
C = mass of cement ( kg ) per m3 of concrete ,
Sc = specific gravity of cement,
(p) = Ratio of fine aggregate to total aggregate by absolute volume ,
(fa) , (ca) = total mass of fine aggregate and coarse aggregate (kg) per m3 ofConcrete respectively, and
Sfa , Sca = specific gravities of saturated surface dry fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate respectively.
As per Table No. 3 , IS-10262, for 20mm maximum size entrapped air is 2% .
Assume F.A. by % of volume of total aggregate = 36.5 %
0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.365 ) ( Fa / 2.61 )] ( 1 /1000 )
=> Fa = 660.2 kg
Say Fa = 660 kg.
0.98 = [ 160 + ( 400 / 3.15 ) + ( 1 / 0.635 ) ( Ca / 2.655 )] ( 1 /1000 )
=> Ca = 1168.37 kg.
Say Ca = 1168 kg.
Considering 20 mm : 10mm = 0.6 : 0.4
20mm = 701 kg .10mm = 467 kg .
Hence Mix details per m3
Cement = 400 kgWater = 160 kgFine aggregate = 660 kgCoarse aggregate 20 mm = 701 kgCoarse aggregate 10 mm = 467 kgAdmixture = 0.6 % by weight of cement = 2.4 kg.Recron 3S = 900 gm
Water: cement: F.A.: C.A. = 0.4: 1: 1.65: 2.92
Observation: -A. Mix was cohesive and homogeneous.B. Slump = 110mmC. No. of cube casted = 12 Nos.7 days average compressive strength = 51.26 MPa.28 days average compressive strength = 62.96 MPa which is greater than 48.25MPa
Hence the mix is accepted.

PROCEDURE OF TESTING VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (LABORATORY & ON FIELD TESTS)
(A) Cement:
1. Consistency Test: -
Procedure: - By using Vicat apparatus (IS: 5513-1976) prepare a neat cement paste by gauging the cement with 0.85 times the water required to give a paste of standard consistency. Potable or distilled water shall be used in preparing the paste. The paste shall be gauged in the manner & under the conditions prescribed in IS: 4031 (Part 4)-1988. Start a stopwatch at the instant when the water is added to the cement. Fill the Vicat mould 'E' with cement paste gauged as above, the mould resting on a non-porous plate. Fill the mould completely & smooth off the surface of the paste making it level with the top of the mould. The cement block thus prepared in the mould is the test block.
Immediately after moulding, place the test block in the moist closet or moist room & allow it to remain there except when determinations of time of setting are being made.
To obtained required consistency per 50 kg cement
Shall not be more than 34 liter for 1:3:6 mix
Shall not be more than 30 liter for 1:2:4 mix

NOTE 1 – Clean appliances shall be used for gauging.
NOTE 2 – All the appliances shall be free from vibration during the test.
NOTE 3 – Care shall be taken to keep the needle straight.
2) Setting Time -
Determination of I.S.T.: - Place the test block confined in the mould & resting on the non-porous plate, under the rod bearing the needle (C); lower the needle gently until it come in contact with the surface of the test block & quickly release, allowing it to penetrate into the test block. In the beginning, the needle will completely pierce the test block. Repeat the procedure until the needle when brought in contact with the test block & released as described above, fails to pierce the block beyond 5.0 ± 0.5 mm measured from the bottom of the mould. The period elapsing between the time when water is added to the cement & the time at which the needle fails to pierce the test block to a point
5.0 ± 0.5 mm measured from the bottom of the mould shall be the I.S.T.
Determination of F.S.T.: - Replace the needle (C) of the Vicat apparatus by the needle with annular attachment (F). The cement shall be considered as finally set when, upon applying the needle gently to the surface of the test block, the needles makes an impression thereon, while the attachment fails to do so shall be the final setting time. In the event of a scum forming on the surface of the test block, use the underside of the block for the determination.

* - Tolerance of ±2 percent permitted.
Procedure –
1. The test sample & the abrasive charge shall be placed in the Los Angeles Abrasion testing machine & the machine rotated at a speed of 20 to 33 rev/min. For gradings A, B, C & D, the machine shall be rotated for 500 revolutions; for gradings E, F & G, it shall be rotated for 1000 revolutions. The machine shall be so driven & so counter balanced as to maintain a substantially uniform peripheral speed. If an angle is used as the shelf, the machine shall be rotated in such a direction that the charge is caught on the outside surface of the angle. At the
completion of the test, the material shall be discharged from the machine & a preliminary separation of the sample made on a sieve coarser than the 1.7 mm IS Sieve. The finer portion shall then be sieved on a 1.7 mm IS Sieve in the manner described in 2.3 Part I of this standard. 2. The material coarser than the 1.7 mm IS Sieve shall be washed dried in an oven at 105°C to 110°C to a substantially constant weight & accurately weighed to the nearest gram.
NOTE – Attention is called to the fact that valuable information concerning the uniformity of the sample under test may be obtained by determining the loss after 100 revolutions. When this determination is made, care should be taken to avoid loss of any part of the sample; the entire sample; including the dust of abrasion, shall be returned to the testing machine for the completion of the test.
Reporting of result –
The difference between the original weight & the final weight of the test sample shall be expressed as a percentage of the original weight of the test sample. This value shall be reported as the percentage of wear.

(d) Oven – An oven of sufficient size capable of maintaining an uniform temperature of 110°C ± 5°C.
Sample –
The test sample shall be selected from material which has been thoroughly mixed & which contains sufficient moisture to prevent segregation. A representative sample, sufficient to sample, sufficient to yield not less than the appropriate weight of dried material, as shown below, shall be selected:
Maximum Nominal size of aggregate
In (mm)
Approximate minimum weight of sample in (gm)
4.75 50010.0 200020 2500
40 or over 5000
Procedure –
(1) The test sample shall be dried to constant weight at a temperature of 110°C ± 5°C & weighed to the nearest 0.1%.
(2) The test sample after being dried & weighed shall be placed in the container & sufficient water added to cover it. The contents of the container shall be agitated vigorously.
(3) The agitation shall be sufficiently vigorous to result in the complete separation from the coarse particles of all particles finer than 75 micron & bring the fine material into suspension.
Care should be taken to avoid, as much as possible, the decantation of the coarse particles of the sample. The operation shall be repeated until the wash water is clear.
(4) The wash water containing the suspended & dissolve solids shall be immediately poured over the nested sieves arranged with the coarser sieve on the top.
(5) All material retained on the nested sieves shall be returned to the wash sample. The wash aggregate shall dried to constant weight at a temperature not exceeding 110°C and weighed to the nearest 0.1%.
Calculation –
The amount of material passing the 75 micron IS Sieve shall be calculated as follows:
A = [(B-C) / B] X 100
Where,
A = percentage of material finer than 75 micron.
B = original dry weight, and
C = dry weight after washing.

Compressive strength of Bricks: -
The compressive strength of Brick is measure of its ability to withstand compressive strength.
The brick is placed between thin plywood sheets & inserted between the plates of the testing machine. The upper plate is screwed by hand wheel provided at the top of the machine. The load is applied beneath the plate by pumping oil to a hydraulic ram. The amount of pressure is read on the dial of the machine.
The compressive strength of engineering bricks, building bricks & good clay bricks are 7000 to 10,000; 2000 to 4000; 4000 lbs. per sq. ft.
Water absorption test –
It is the measure of the quantity of water absorbed by a brick when immersed in water.
The brick is weighed in room temperature when completely dry. Let the weight be 'W1'. Next the brick is kept immersed in water for 24 hrs. again at room temperature & then weighed. Let the weight be 'W2'. After this, the brick is boiled in water for 5 hrs. & cooled in water overnight & weighed. Let the weight be 'W3'.
Saturation coefficient is given by:
(W2 – W 1)
(W3 – W1)
Water absorption, percent by weight is given by
(W2 – W 1) X 100
W
Efflorescence Test for Bricks:
The end of the specimen is immersed in water contained in a dish up to a depth of 2.5 cm & allowed to remain in this condition. Part of water is absorbed by the brick & the remaining is evaporated. The brick is taken out & when it appears dry, the same procedure is repeated. After second evaporation the brick is examined for efflorescence & the conclusions are drawn as follows:
(a) No efflorescence in absence of any visible deposit.
(b) Slight efflorescence, moderate efflorescence, heavy efflorescence are indicated by deposit cover 10%, 25% & 50% of the covered area of the brick surface, respectively.
CPVC – Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride.
It is a thermoplastic pipe & fitting material made of compounds.
CPVC products are specifically used for potable water distribution & corrosive fluid handling industry etc. It is a very cost-effective system.
MICROSILICA – It is found from natural deposit in New Zealand. It is a highly reactive pozzolan. Like silica fume, it is very fine amorphous product.
When MICROSILICA is added with Portland cement, it gives better performance such that it provides very low chloride iron diffusion & it gives better performance such that it provides very low chloride iron diffusion & it increases the compressive strength.
