Dear all

(1) I tend to agree with Shri Daljeet that  M20 is possible with : 1:1.5:3,  hand mixing, water cement ratio of 0.525 (=  5% of aggregates + 30% of  cement ), and 33 grade OPC cement. However, let us also consider the following aspects.

(2) Unless we have mentioned w/c ratio, we can not say that we have defined any concrete adequately. Again I say that unless all the three parameters of concrete (w/c ratio, cement content, concrete strength) as given in IS : 456-2000, are explicitly mentioned, concrete can not be taken to be suitable for structural use as per IS:456-2000.

(3) We must also remember that a given proportions can give a very wide range of concrete strengths depending upon the cement strength (cement grade can not define the actual cement strength).

Thanking you all, with regards

Dear N P Rajamane
1:1.5:3 for M-20 was used for hand mixed non vibrator concretes with water cement ratio  based  on water (5% of aggregates + 30% of  cement ) Thus water cement ratio of 0.525. I think even today if you use hand mixed concrete and donut use vibrator 33 grade OPC cement and water cement ratio 0.525, M-20 would be a great achievement.

Dear all

(1) I do not agree that nominal mixes are " The Nominal Mix for M20
concrete is 1:1.5:3, for M15 is 1:2:4". For RCC, we have to think of
durability which is ensured by suitable adoption of w/c ratio. In the
absence of inclusion of w/c ratio in defining the concrete mix or grade,
the concretes can not be taken as acceptable. Defining/describing the
concrete without w/c ratio should stop in the interest of the concrete
constructions, especially, when the cement is produced in modern cement
plants where high strength cements are easily and consistently produced
and made available to engineers without much effect on final price.

(2) I am very glad about the following observation by Shri Basu, Pranab:

"Design Mix is a design of concrete mix where all the actual design
requirements as per the actual materials and working conditions are
taken care of. The main design considerations are Structural Strength,
Standard Deviation in strength, Durability of structure (minimum cement
content), physical and chemical properties of building materials,
exposure of the structure, workability factor and above al the available
resources for commercial viability."

However, I wish to add that the words "Durability of structure (minimum cement
content)" should be replaced with "Durability of structure (minimum cement
content, max. w/c ratio, minimum grade, for a particular exposure condition)".

(3) Let us accept important observations of Prof. Kalgal. A given mix proportion can give a wide range strengths, say ranging even from as less as 10 MPa to as high as 100 MPa depending upon several factors such as type and strength of cement strength, w/c ratio, presence/absence of mineral and chemical admixtures, type of mixer machine, transportation, placing and curing operations, age, etc.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sefian,

Here is some comment from a very experienced engineer in the
construction field. I thought to share this with you all.

Subject: nominal mix design

I could not understand as to where from the discussion evolved? Unless
you know the purpose, you might not contribute significantly. However
like others, I can share my knowledge in the following manner.

1. First of all there is no terminology like Nominal Mix Design.
Nominal Mix is a recommendation by IS 456 based on statistical data from
several regions. Obviously the structural strength as well s the
durability factor remained in consideration.

The Nominal Mix for M20concrete is 1:1.5:3, for M15 is 1:2:4

2. Design Mix is a design of concrete mix where all the actual design
requirements as per the actual materials and working conditions are
taken care of. The main design considerations are Structural Strength,
Standard Deviation in strength, Durability of structure (minimum cement
content), physical and chemical properties of building materials,
exposure of the structure, workability factor and above al the available
resources for commercial viability.

Design Mix is always an economic option but require technical
competence.

I do not know how my vies can help one, if the problem or the issue is
not known.

Dear all

I do not agree that nominal mix design of reinforced concrete M20 it is
1:2:3. For RCC. We have to always note that a design mix which should
satisfy both strength (used in design of structures) and durability
requirements (max. w/c ratio, minimum cement content, minimum grade, for
a particular exposure condition) as per IS:456-2000. When we say RCC, I
feel, we mean only structural concrete. Then durability requirements of
Codes have to be ensured.

What could be the reason of water as well as wet sand is percolating
out of the building boundaries from all sides? Is it a serious warning for a disaster?

I craved strong  sweets, but those
Seemed strong when I was young;
The  petal  of the rose
It was that stung.

Now no joy but lacks salt
That is not dashed with pain
And weariness and  fault;
I  crave the  stain

Of tears, the aftermark
Of  almost too much love,
The sweet of bitter  bark
And burning clove.

When stiff and sore  and scarred
I take away  my hand

whereas  in stuctures designed based on Limit state the
load factors are clearly spelt out as 1.2 and 1.5 respectively.

Thus  for Truss members where DL+WLcasegoverns,
an increase of stresses are taken evn though
WL(=100-120) >> DL(=25 to 30Kg/cm2).
This can be seen in SP-38 at  clause 2.2

However for Tower structures, one can say that
wind load is main load vis-a vis DL. and no increase.
