📄 Calculation Of Materials For Different Mix Ratio:
Calculation Of Materials For Different Mix Ratio: Quantity estimation of materials is essentially required in any construction works and quantity of materials depend on the mix proportions of the concrete. In our previous article, we have already discussed how to calculate bricks in a wall. Today we will discuss how to calculate quantities of materials for different mix ratio of concrete. (Dry mix method) We will calculate quantities of materials for 1 m3 concrete (By volume). Let us assume the mix proportion is 1 : 2: 4 (cement:sand:stone =a:b:c) Volume of wet concrete = 1 m3 Volume of dry concrete = 1 × 1.54 = 1.54 m3 What Is 1.54 Given Above in Figure Calculation For Cement: Formula, Cement = (Volume of dry concrete/a+b+c) × a = (1.54/a+b+c) × a = [(1.54/1+2+4)] × 1 = 0.22 cum Now density of cement = 1440 kg/cum ∴ Volume of cement = 0.22 × 1440 =316.8 kg. As we know, 1 bag of cement contains 50 kg of cement . ∴ Cement bags requir...
