Quantity Of Materials in Cement Concrete

Civil Engineering Classes

Cement, Aggregate & Sand quantity are used in 1:1.5:3 concrete..... 

Dry Volumn Concrete = Approximate 54 % to 57 % more than Wet Volumn Concrete.

so, considering the factor of safety ranging from 1.54 to 1.57 to counter that shrinkage. 

i.e., Volume of dry concrete = 1.54 to 1.57 times Volume of wet concrete
