M50PSC-3
fck = characteristic compressive strength at 28 days , and
s
= Standard deviation
As super plasticizer is used, the water content can be reduced up to 20 percent and above.
Based on trails with super plasticizer, water content reduction of 13.7 percent has been achieved. Hence,
the arrived water content = 202.74 x 0.863 = 175 lit
F) Calculation of cement content:
Water - Cement Ratio = 0.35
Cement Content
= 400 kg/m3
M50PSC-3
In the present case water cement ratio is 0.35. Therefore, Volume of coarse aggregate is required to be
increased to decrease the fine aggregate content. As the water -cement ratio is lower by 0.15, the
proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is increased by 0.03 (at the rate of -/+ 0.01 for every 0.05
change in water- cement ratio). Therefore, corrected proportion of volume of coarse aggregate for the
water- cement ratio of 0.35 =0.65
Based on trail mixs sand content is decreased to = 0.32
Therefore, volume of coarse aggregate
= 0.68
= (1-0.68) = 0.32
