Answer / santosh singh

According to British Standard Specifications

water requirement of concrete = 28% by weight of cement + 4% by total weight of aggregate

M25 M20 M15
proportion 1:1:2 1:11/2:3 1:2:4

water cement ratio 0.43 0.51 0.58
(by weight)

quantity of water is calculated as

for M20
wt of water/wt of cement(50kg) = 0.51

Wt of water per bag of cement = 0.51 x 50 = 25.5 liters

similarly for M25

wt of water per bag of cement = 0.43 x 50 = 21.5 liters

wt of water per bag of cement = 0.58 x 50 = 29 litres

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
