Type of Mix : Cement Grout
Type of Cement : OPC-43
Maximum water cement : 0.45 (As Per MORT&H 5th Rev.
Ratio Appendices-1800/III
Degree of supervision : Good
Admixture : Fosroc Cebex 100
Cement grout is a mixture of cement, water, with or without aggregate and with or
without admixture.
Cement grout is used for crack repairing, filling the voids of Post-Tensioned cable in
prestressed concrete bridges etc.

SELECTION OF WATER-CEMENT RATIO
As per Admixture recommended Dosage,
adopted water-cement ratio = 0.41 ≤0.45 (As Per MORT&H 5th Rev. Appendices-1800/III Clg.4.1)
Hence Ok.

Note: For grout, mortar or concrete mixes with an aggregate/cement ratio more than 1, 4 x 225 g units of Cebex
100 per 100 kg of cement, shall be used.
DESIGN CALCULATION
Cement Content : 50 kg W/C = 0.41
Water-Cement ratio : 0.41
Water Content : 20.50 kg Then,
Admixture Quantity : 0.225 kg
Water = 0.41 x
