Proportion of volume of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate content From Table 3, volume of coarse aggregate corresponding to 20 mm size aggregate and fine aggregate (Zone I) for water-cement ratio of 0.50 =0.60

As the water-cement ratio is lower by 0.10, the proportion of volume of coarse aggregate is increased by 0.02.
Corrected volume of coarse aggregate Volume of coarse aggregate Volume of fine aggregate Mix calculations The mix calculations per unit volume of concrete shall be as follows a) Volume of concrete 1 b) Volume of cement 0.094 c) Volume of fly ash 0.034 d) Volume of water 0.167 e) Volume of chemical admixture 0.002 f) Volume of all in aggregates 0.703 g) Mass of coarse aggregate 20mm 512 h) Mass of coarse aggregate 10mm 514 j) Mass of river sand 413 k) Mass of crushed sand 413 Cum Cum Cum Cum Cum Cum Kg Kg Kg Kg 0.61 0.55 0.45

For pumpable concrete these values should be reduced by 10%.
