Answer:
. procedure for calculating material quantity in 1 cubic meter of concrete
let us consider a design mix of M20 ie. 1 : 1.5 : 3
ratio sum = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5
volume of concrete = 1 cubic meter(wet volume)
therefore dry volume of concrete= 45% to 55% increase in volume x wet volume
dry volume = 1 x 1.54(assuming 54% increase in volume)
dry volume = 1.54
cement quantity in 1.54 cubic meter concrete
in cubic meter =( part of cement in the mix / sum of mix ratio) X quantity of concrete
= (1x 1.54)/5.5
= .28 cubic meter
in kg = .28 x unit weight of cement
= .28 x 1440
= 403.2 KG
in bags = total quantity in kg / weight of 1 bag of cement
= 403.2 / 50
= 8.064 bags of cement
sand quantity in 1.54 cubic meter concrete
in cubic meter = ( part of sand in the mix / sum of mix ratio) X quantity of concrete
= (1.5 x 1.54)/5.5
= .42 cubic meter
in cubic feet = 14.82
Coarse aggregate quantity in 1.54 cubic meter concrete
in cubic meter = ( part of coarse aggregate in the mix / sum of mix ratio) X quantity of concrete
= (3 x 1.54)/5.5
= .84 cubic meter
in cubic feet = 29.64
