ACI Method of Concrete Mix Design – Procedure and Calculations
ACI method of concrete mix design is based on the estimated weight of the concrete per unit volume. This method takes into consideration the requirements for consistency, workability, strength and durability. This article presents ACI method of concrete mix design. ...
Effect of Air Entrainment on Concrete Strength
Air entrainment affects compressive strength of concrete and its workability. It increases the workability of concrete without much increase in water-cement ratio. Compressive strength of concrete is inversely proportional to workability of concrete. When workability of concrete increases, its compressive ...
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR DESIGN MIX CONCRETE
Design Mix Concrete Acceptance Criteria: I. The concrete shall be deemed to comply with the strength requirements if: a) every sample has a test strength not less than the characteristic value;or b) The strength of one or more samples though ...
Fineness Modulus Method of Concrete Mix Design
Fineness Modulus Method of Concrete Mix Design The index number, which describes the relative sizes of coarse and fine aggregates, is called as fineness modulus (FM). Fineness modulus is determined separately by sieving coarse and fine aggregates through the following ...
Mix Design of Roller Compacted Concrete
Mix design proportioning methods for Roller Compacted Concrete RCC: Mix design proportioning methods for no slump concrete applicable for Roller Compacted Concrete. Materials Used in RCC mix design a) Cementitious materials: Cement content is generally low (typically 70 to 130 ...
Methods of Proportioning Cement, Sand and Aggregates in Concrete
Proportioning of concrete is the process of selecting quantity of cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water in concrete to obtain desired strength and quality. The proportions of coarse aggregate, cement and water should be such that the resulting concrete has the ...
DESIGNED CONCRETE SPECIFICATIONS
Designed concrete are those for which the producer is responsible for selecting the mix proportions to meet the required performance as communicated by the specifier. Therefore it is essential that the specifier, in compiling the specification, takes account of: The ...
