Topic: Cemmet Propotion for ceiling

Hi,

My contractor used cement : sand : aggregate (20mm) in the proportion 3 : 8 : 9. I am not sure if it is strong enough. Can you please reassure if it is not going to collapse on my head :-(

Regards,
Vijay G

Various Ratios of RCC

RCC denotes Re-in forced Cement Concrete in which cement, sand and Bajri are laid with the help of mild steel. This is most important part of the structure. Generally 1:2:4 and 1:1.5: 3 ratios of RCC are used in construction work.

 

RCC 1:2:4

Where cement concrete 1:2:4 is used; it means 1 part of cement 2 parts of fine aggregate/coarse sand and 4 parts of coarse aggregate. This ratio of cement concrete gives high strength of cement concrete and is recommended for following works.

• For general RCC work in buildings

• Bed plates

• Lintels

• RCC shelves

• Pavement etc.

 

RCC 1:1.5:3

Where cement concrete 1:1.5:3 is used; it means 1 part of cement 1..5 part of fine aggregate/coarse sand and 3 parts of coarse aggregate. This ratio of concrete also gives very high strength of cement concrete and is recommended for following works. 

• Structure carries in heavy loads

• Important RCC structure such as columns, beams, slabs, cantilever, Chhajja, porch, and balcony etc.

• Minimize the effects of earth quake.

• Gives more strength accordingly if Tor or Ribbed steel is used with cement concrete 1:1.5:3.

the proportion 3 : 8 : 9 means it is 1:2.67:3
The proportion required to set as per design mix by lab test or by experience to achieve required strength
Your proportion like empirical mix when the grit size is over size than 20 MM and also sand are more coarse than required.
in general in uttar pradesh we use 1:2:3 and in some case when more smoothness and flow of concrete required with more coarse sand and over size grit some contractors use 1:2.5:3
it is not bad and hope to get desired strength of M20
Better if you check with structural designer who design your building with the sample of sand and grit or by lab test of cube test if possible.
if spans are under 12'-0" x 12'-0" and thickness of slab is minimum 4.5" no need to worry.
