During Construction using concrete, cement paste, mortar certain time is required for mixing, transportation, placing, compacting and finishing. During this time concrete, mortar, cement paste should be in plastic condition and should not harden and it is mandatory that one should use the concrete before it starts to loose its plasticity. So How should someone know how long is concrete workable? and How much travel time is permitted for concrete?
Well its Setting time that tells us how long concrete is going to be workable. Now the question is What is Setting Time of Cement?
This document discusses fresh concrete and factors that affect its workability. It describes workability as the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, and compacted. Key factors that influence workability include water content, aggregate size and shape, admixtures, aggregate surface texture, and aggregate grading. Common tests to measure workability are the slump test, compacting factor test, and VeeBee consistometer test. The document also covers segregation and bleeding of concrete, their causes, and methods to prevent them.

This document discusses the process of concrete mix design. The goal of mix design is to select ingredients and determine their proportions to produce concrete of a certain minimum strength and durability as economically as possible. The key steps involve determining the target mean strength based on site conditions, selecting a water-cement ratio based on strength and durability requirements, choosing the maximum aggregate size and desired workability, and then calculating the cement content, coarse aggregate weight, fine aggregate weight, and final mix proportions. Field conditions like surface moisture must also be accounted for in the final design.
A presentation on concrete-Concrete TechnologyAbdul Majid
Concrete is a composite material made from cement, sand, gravel and water. It is one of the most commonly used building materials due to its advantages like durability, fire resistance and ability to be easily formed. Fresh concrete must be properly mixed, placed, consolidated and cured. Mixing ensures uniform distribution of ingredients while consolidation removes air pockets. Curing keeps concrete saturated to allow continued hydration and improve strength over time. Proper mixing, placing and curing are necessary to achieve the desired properties of hardened concrete.
This document discusses the process of concrete mix design. The goal of mix design is to produce concrete with the required strength, durability and workability at the lowest cost. It describes the factors that must be considered such as minimum strength, workability, water-cement ratio and aggregate size and grading. The different types of mixes are described as nominal, standard or design mixes. The key steps of mix design are outlined, including selecting the target strength, water-cement ratio, water content, cement content and aggregate volumes. Durability, aggregate properties and mix calculations are also summarized.
This document discusses constituent materials used in concrete, including cement, aggregates, and water.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE QUANTITY FOR CEMENT,SAND, AND AGGREGATESSANJEEV Wazir
To calculate the materials needed for 1 cubic meter of concrete with a compressive strength of 20 N/mm^2 and a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 for cement:sand:aggregate:
Calculate the dry volume of the concrete which is 1.54 cubic meters. Use the mix ratios and dry volume to calculate the volume of cement as 0.28 cubic meters, sand as 0.42 cubic meters, and aggregates as 0.84 cubic meters. Then use the densities of each material to convert the volumes to weights in kilograms and bags or cubic feet. The totals should add up to the original 1 cubic meter of concrete.
Factors affecting the strenght of concreteMUBARAKALI111
The document discusses several factors that affect the impact strength of concrete, including the shape, size and texture of aggregates, compaction methods, curing processes, and water-cement ratio. It notes that aggregates are key factors, and that proper compaction to 5-10% air void content and curing for 7-14 days are important. An ideal concrete mix ratio is listed as 1:2:4 cement to aggregate.

Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a ready-to-use material, with predetermined mixture of Cement, sand, aggregates and water.
“Ready mix concrete is concrete whose components are proportioned away from the construction site for delivery to the construction site by the truck in a ready-to-use-condition.”
Mineral admixtures are added to concrete to make it more economical and durable. Common mineral admixtures include pozzolanas such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, and metakaoline. These admixtures improve concrete properties such as workability, permeability, chemical resistance, and strength through pozzolanic reactions. Fly ash is the most widely used pozzolanic material worldwide due to its ability to reduce the environmental pollution caused by coal combustion in thermal power plants. Ground granulated blast furnace slag reduces heat generation during curing and improves permeability and chemical resistance of hardened concrete. Metakaoline and silica fume are highly reactive pozzolanas
Quality awareness of concrete cube casting and testing must be done to achieve the desired strength of that particular grade of concrete and for the stability of the structure.
Lightweight concrete, also known as foam concrete or foamed concrete, is a cement-based material that is produced using a minimum of 20% foam to replace fine aggregate, resulting in a density of 400-1600 kg/m3. It has advantages over normal concrete such as lower weight, improved thermal insulation and fire resistance, cost savings, and easier construction. Some disadvantages include increased mixing time and difficulty in finishing due to its porous nature. Foam concrete has a variety of applications and has been used successfully in marine structures, bridges, and railway platforms.

MATHODS OF CONCRETE MIX DESIGN
MIX DESIGN BY INDIAN STANDARD METHOD.
The document discusses the hydration of cement compounds. The four main compounds (Bogue's compounds) are tricalcium silicate (C3S), dicalcium silicate (C2S), tricalcium aluminate (C3A), and tetracalcium aluminoferrite (C4AF). C3S hydrates rapidly and provides early strength, while C2S hydrates slowly and provides later strength. C3A hydrates very fast unless gypsum is added, in which case it forms ettringite. C4AF hydrates similarly to C3A but more slowly. The hydration processes of the individual compounds involve formation of calcium silicate hydrate, calcium hydroxide
Aggregates make up 70-80% of concrete by volume and can be classified by source, size, shape, and other properties. Their properties affect the workability, strength, and economics of concrete. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are common sources. Aggregate size, shape, texture, strength, and durability all impact the performance of concrete. Tests are used to evaluate aggregate crushing strength, impact resistance, and abrasion characteristics important for different concreting applications. Proper aggregate selection and testing are essential for producing high quality concrete.
The document discusses various properties of hardened concrete, including strength, deformation under load, durability, permeability, and shrinkage. It explains that concrete gains strength over time through hydration. The compressive strength of concrete is influenced by factors like water-cement ratio, degree of compaction, and curing. Durability refers to concrete's ability to withstand environmental deterioration. Permeability and shrinkage also impact the long-term performance of hardened concrete.

This document provides information on the key ingredients and composition of concrete. It discusses the main components of concrete including cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures. It describes the function of each component and how they contribute to the properties of hardened concrete. It also summarizes the manufacturing process of cement and discusses Bogue's compounds which form due to chemical reactions during cement production.
The document provides an overview of concrete technology, including its history, composition, strength mechanism, current practices, and future trends. It discusses how the ancient Egyptians and Romans used early forms of concrete and mortar in construction. The modern development of cement began with John Smeaton in the 18th century and Joseph Aspdin's invention of Portland cement in the 19th century. The document also describes the typical ingredients of concrete - cement, aggregate, sand, water and admixtures - and how hydration of cement provides the binding strength. Current and emerging concrete types like self-compacting concrete, high performance concrete, fly ash concrete and biological/self-healing concrete are summarized.
Concrete is a widely used construction material consisting of cement, water, and aggregates. The strength of concrete is specified using its 28-day cube strength in N/sq.mm. Formwork is used to mold wet concrete into desired shapes and allow it to cure. Formwork design involves choosing traditional or systematic approaches using wood or steel components like props, beams, sheathing to form columns, walls, and beams until the concrete gains sufficient strength. Proper formwork is important for quality concrete finish and structural integrity.
This document provides information on concrete mix design, including objectives, basic considerations, and the IS (Indian Standards) method for mix design. The objectives of mix design are to achieve the desired workability, strength, durability, and cost. Basic considerations include cost, specifications, workability, strength, durability, and aggregate grading. The IS method is then described in steps, including selecting target strength, water-cement ratio, air content, water and sand contents, cement content, and aggregate contents. An example application of the IS method is also provided.
This document discusses the design and construction of highway embankments. It describes how embankments are necessary to raise the subgrade level above the groundwater table and satisfy road alignment requirements. The key elements of embankment design include dimensions, slopes, settlement analysis, material selection, and drainage. Proper compaction of embankment materials in layers is crucial to reduce settlement. Weak soils may require special design considerations like removing poor materials and replacing with stronger soils.
Concrete is a composite material made by binding aggregates with a cement paste. It comes in various types depending on the binding material (cement or lime) and purpose (plain, reinforced, pre-stressed). Good concrete has strength, durability, density, water tightness, workability and resistance to wear and tear. Proper mixing, placing, compaction and curing are required to develop these qualities in concrete.
The document discusses factors that affect the strength of concrete, including water-cement ratio, aggregate-cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, and degree of compaction. It states that concrete strength is inversely proportional to water-cement ratio according to Abrams' law. A lower water-cement ratio and higher degree of compaction produce stronger concrete by reducing porosity. A leaner aggregate-cement ratio also increases strength by absorbing water and reducing shrinkage. Larger aggregate size can reduce water needs but may decrease strength by lowering surface area for bond development.
Properties of Fresh and Hardened ConcreteRishabh Lala
1. The document discusses the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, including workability, strength, permeability, and durability.
2. Workability of fresh concrete refers to the effort required to mix and place the concrete without segregation. It is measured by tests like slump.
3. Compressive strength is an important property of hardened concrete, as concrete is designed to resist compressive loads. Strength depends on factors like water-cement ratio and compaction.
4. Permeability and durability are also important properties, as permeability affects how easily substances like water or salts can pass through concrete. Low permeability leads to higher durability.
The document discusses the steps for concrete mix design as per IS 10262-2009. It involves selecting specifications, testing materials, calculating target strength, selecting water-cement ratio based on exposure conditions, determining water content, calculating cementitious content, finding aggregate volumes, performing mix calculations, conducting trial mixes, measuring workability, and adjusting mixes based on results to achieve design requirements. The process aims to proportion a mix that meets the specified compressive strength, workability, and durability.
Artificial neural network for concrete mix designMonjurul Shuvo
This document describes a study using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict concrete mix designs and compressive strengths. The study aims to construct ANN models to predict mix proportions for a target strength and to predict strength for given mix proportions. Data on 79 concrete mixes are used to train and test the ANN models. The results show the ANN can predict mix ratios with 99% accuracy and strengths with 98% accuracy, demonstrating ANN is an effective tool for concrete mix design that outperforms traditional methods. Parametric studies examine the effects of water-cement ratio, fines content, and mix ratios on strength. The document concludes ANN is a powerful tool that can be used in concrete mix design practice.
This document discusses concrete mix design methods according to Indian standards. It describes the key steps in mix design as outlined in IS 10262:2009, including determining the target mean strength, selecting the water-cement ratio, calculating water and cement contents, selecting the coarse aggregate volume proportion, and reporting the final mix ratios. The example mix design provided has a water-cement ratio of 0.38, 518 kg of cement and 197 kg of water per cubic meter of concrete, with coarse and fine aggregate volumes of 0.664 m3 and 0.336 m3 respectively.
The document discusses the American Concrete Institute (ACI) method for concrete mix design. It begins by defining mix design as selecting ingredients and determining their proportions to produce concrete of minimum strength and durability economically. The method involves collecting data on aggregates and cement, then calculating ingredient proportions to achieve the specified compressive strength of 30 MPa while accounting for absorption and surface moisture properties. The example mix design for a water tank specifies cement at 394 kg/m3, fine aggregate at 819 kg/m3, coarse aggregate at 982 kg/m3, and water at 179 kg/m3.
This document provides information on concrete mix design and testing concrete cubes. It discusses determining the target mean strength of concrete, properties and types of aggregates, and how to calculate the aggregate to cement ratio and water to cement ratio. It also outlines the process for sampling concrete, filling and compacting concrete cubes, curing the cubes, and testing them to determine compressive strength. The compressive strength tests help evaluate the quality of the concrete mix and its constituents. Maintaining proper procedures at each stage of mixing, placing, and curing the concrete is important for achieving the desired compressive strength.
1. The document discusses two methods for concrete mix design: the American Concrete Institute (ACI) method and a high strength mix method.
2. It provides guidelines for each method, including required parameters for ingredients, design procedures, and equipment needed.
3. Tables are presented with information on recommended water-cement ratios, consistency measurements, volume of aggregates, and other reference data to assist with mix designs.
The document discusses concrete mix design according to the IS method. It covers objectives of mix design such as achieving desired strength, workability and durability economically. Basic considerations like cost, specifications, workability, strength and durability are explained. Factors influencing mix design choice like grade of concrete, type of cement, aggregate size and grading, water-cement ratio, workability and durability are outlined. Nominal and design mixes are compared. The IS method of mix design is then described which involves specifying a target average compressive strength based on the characteristic strength and standard deviation.

Study On Partial Replacement Of Fine Aggregates In Concrete By Recycled Concr...IRJET Journal
The document studies the effect of partially replacing fine aggregates in concrete with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). Concrete mixtures were developed with 0-30% replacement of fine aggregates with RCA at 5% intervals. Testing showed workability decreased with higher RCA content due to higher water absorption. Compressive, tensile, and flexural strength generally increased up to 15% RCA replacement compared to conventional concrete, with 25% replacement also showing satisfactory results. The optimum RCA replacement was found to be 25% based on the experimental results.
Partial Replacement of Cement with brick Dust in concreteIRJET Journal
This document investigates partially replacing cement with brick dust in concrete. Three replacement levels of cement with brick dust were tested: 5%, 10%, and 15%. Tests on the concrete mixtures found that workability increased with brick dust replacement, with slump increasing from 28mm in normal concrete to 29mm with 15% replacement. Compressive strength was found to decrease with higher replacement levels, with 5% replacement showing similar 7-day and 28-day strengths to normal concrete, 10% replacement showing a minor strength reduction, and 15% replacement reducing strength by over 17% at 28 days. The document concludes that brick dust can replace up to 10% of cement to gain workability benefits without significant strength loss.
This document discusses concrete mix design and methods of mix design. It begins by explaining nominal mix and design mix concrete. Nominal mix uses fixed ingredient ratios while design mix calculates proportions to achieve needed strength. Several methods of concrete mix design are listed, including Indian standard, ACI, and IRC methods. Data required for mix proportioning is provided, such as grade, aggregate size, cement content, water-cement ratio, workability, and exposure conditions. Steps in concrete mix design involve determining material properties, selecting target strength, water-cement ratio, and volumes of ingredients to achieve the design mix. Trial mixes are made and tested to finalize the design mix.
Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1. Specify design strength as 4000 psi = 27.6 MPa
2. Assume w/c ratio of 0.45 (typical for roof slab)
3. Estimate cement content as 400 kg/m3 (based on w/c and strength)
4. Estimate water content as 180 kg/m3 (0.45 * 400)
5. Estimate coarse aggregate content as 1050 kg/m3 (by volume method)
6. Estimate fine aggregate content as 670 kg/m3 (by volume method)
7. Adjust quantities for moisture in aggregates
8. Calculate trial batch quantities for 1.5 yd3 mixer capacity
The Suitability of Crushed Over Burnt Bricks as Coarse Aggregate for ConcreteIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on using crushed over burnt bricks as coarse aggregate in concrete. Tests were conducted to determine the physical properties of crushed over burnt brick aggregates and their suitability for replacing traditional stone aggregates at different percentages (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). The density and compressive strength of the concrete mixes decreased as the percentage of burnt brick aggregate increased. Software analysis using ANSYS found that up to 50% replacement resulted in acceptable deformation, strain, and stress levels under a high load, suggesting burnt brick aggregate can be used as a partial replacement at up to 50% to create economical concrete.
A Review of Structural Performance of Pervious Concrete as a Sustainable Pave...IRJET Journal
This document provides an overview of pervious concrete and its use as a sustainable pavement solution. Pervious concrete has an open cell structure that allows water and air to pass through, unlike traditional concrete. It is made with coarse aggregates, cement, water and little to no sand. Pervious concrete offers environmental benefits over asphalt and concrete by allowing stormwater to permeate through the pavement rather than running off. The document discusses mix designs, engineering properties like permeability and compressive strength, design considerations, and concludes that pervious concrete is suitable for pavements due to its drainage capabilities, though its low strength limits use in high traffic areas.
This document provides an overview of concrete mix design principles. It discusses the key ingredients of concrete - cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water. It explains that concrete mix design aims to achieve the required strength, workability, and durability. The document outlines the steps to concrete mix design according to IS 10262, including selecting the target strength, choosing the water-cement ratio, estimating water content, calculating cement quantity, estimating coarse aggregate proportion, and adjusting for special conditions. Durability criteria from IS 456 pertaining to minimum cement content and maximum water-cement ratio are also summarized.
IRJET- Optimization of Aggregate Gradation and its Effects on Properties of N...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental investigation into optimizing aggregate gradation and its effects on the properties of normal strength concrete (M20). Six concrete mixes were prepared with different aggregate gradation parameters (N values) of 0.45, 0.55, 0.65, and 0.75 based on Talbot's grading curve, coarseness factor chart, and fineness modulus. Tests on fresh and hardened concrete properties like slump, compressive strength, rebound hammer, and water absorption were performed. The results showed that a mix with an N value of 0.45 achieved the highest compressive strength and workability, allowing a 15% reduction in cement content for M20 concrete.

The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

4. The following point must be considered while designing concrete mixes
Cost
Specification
Workability
Strength and Durability
Cost
The cost of concrete is made up of
1. Material Cost
2. Equipment Cost
3. Labour Cost
The variation in the cost of materials arises from the fact that cement is several times
costlier than aggregates. So it is natural in mix design to aim at as lean a mix as possible.
Therefore, all possible steps should be taken to reduce the cement content of a concrete mixtures
without sacrificing the desirable properties of concrete such as strength and durability.

5. Specifications
The following point may be kept in mind while designing concrete mixes
1. Minimum Compressive Strength required
2. Minimum water/ cement ratio
3. Maximum cement content to avoid shrinkage cracks
4. Maximum aggregate / cement ratio
5. Maximum density of concrete in case of gravity dams
G.GUNA SRVEC
6. Basic Considerations
Workability
The following points related to workability shall be kept in mind while designing concrete mixes.
The consistency of concrete should no more than that necessary for placing, compacting and finishing.
For concrete mixes required high consistency at the time of placing, the use of water-reducing and set-
retarding admixtures should be used rather than the addition of more water
Wherever possible, the cohesiveness and finishiability of concrete should be improved by increasing sand/
aggregate ratio than by increasing the proportion of the fine particles in the sand.
Strength and durability
Strength and durability require lower w/c ratio. It is usually
achieved not by increasing the cement content, but by lowering the water
at given cement content. Water demand can by lowered by throughout
control of the aggregate grading and by using water reducing admixtures.

9. Strength and Durability
Design Mix Concrete
The concrete mix produced under quality control keeping in view the strength, durability, and
workability is called the design Mix.
Others factors like compaction equipment's available, curing method adopted, type of cement,
quality of fine and coarse aggregate etc. have to be kept in mind before arriving at the mix proportion.
The design mix or controlled mix is being used more and more in variety of important structures,
because of better strength, reduced variability, leaner mixed with consequent economy, as well as
greater assurance of the resultant quality.
Factors Influencing Choice of Mix Design
According to IS 456:2000 and IS 1343:1980 the important influencing the
design of concrete mix are
Grade of Concrete
Type of Cement
Maximum nominal Size of Aggregate
Grading of Combined aggregate Quality Control.
Maximum Water/ Cement Ratio
Workability Durability
G.GUNA SRVEC
10. • The proportions of materials for nominal mix shall be in accordance
Grade of Concrete
•The grade of concrete gives characteristic compressive strength of concrete. It is one of the important factor influencing
the mix design
•The grade M 20 denotes characteristic compressive strength fck of 20 N/mm2. Depending upon the degree of control
available at site, the concrete mix is to be designed for a target mean compressive strength (fck) applying suitable
standard deviation.
Type of Cement
•The rate of development of strength of concrete is
influenced by the type of cement.
•The higher the strength of cement used in concrete,
lesser will be the cement content. The use of 43 grade
and 53 grade of cement, gives saving in cement
consumption as much as 15 % and 25 % respectively, as
compared to 33 grade of cement. For concrete of grade
M25 it is advisable to use 43 and 53 grade of cement.
G.GUNA SRVEC
11. Maximum Nominal Size of Aggregates
•The maximum size of C.A is determined by sieve analysis. It is designated by the sieve size higher than
larger size on which 15 % or more of the aggregate is retained. The maximum nominal size of C.A. should
not be more than one-forth of minimum thickness of the member.
•For heavily reinforced concrete members as in the case of ribs of main beams, the nominal maximum size of
the aggregate should usually be restricted to sum less than the minimum clear distance between the main
bars or 5 mm less the minimum cover to the reinforcement, whoever is smaller.
•The workability of concrete increases with an increase in the maximum size of aggregate. But the smaller
size of aggregates provide larger surface area for bonding with the mortar matrix which gives higher
strength.Maximum Water/ Cement Ratio
Abram’s water/Cement ratio states that for any given condition of test, the strength of a workability
concrete mix is dependent only on water/cement ratio. The lower the water/Cement ratio, the greater is the
compressive strength
Workability
Workability of fresh concrete determines the case with which a concrete mixture can be mixed,
transported, placed, compacted and finished without harmful segregation and bleeding.

12. Factors Influencing Choice of Mix Design
Durability
•Durability require low water/Cement ratio. It is usually achieved not by increasing the cement content,
but by lowering the water demand at a given cement content.
•Water demand can be lowered by through control of the aggregate grading and by using water reducing
admixtures

This method assumes that the optimum ratio of the bulk volume of coarse aggregates and on the
grading of fineness aggregates regardless of shape of particles. This method also assumes that
even after complete compaction is done, a definite percentage of air remains which is inversely
proportional to the maximum size of aggregate.
