Re: how to calculate 1:1.

5:3 ratio concrete cement, sand, metal and water please give
me brief calculation
M20 = 1:1.5:3
Volume = 1+1.5+3=5.5
Total volume ingredients for using =1.57
Volume of broken stone Require = (3/5.5) x 1.57 =
0.856 m3
Volume of sand Require = (1.5/5.5) x 1.57 = 0.471
m3
Volume of cement = (1/5.5) x 1.57 = 0.285 m3
= 0.285 x1440 = 411 kg
For 1m3 of M20 (1:1.5:3)
Broken stone = 0.856 m3
Sand = 0.472 m3
Cement = 8.22 bag

Re: what"s the formula to find the quantity (consumption) of cement,sand,aggregate

for 1m3(1:2:4)?
Find Total Parts = (1+2+4)=7 Parts.
For 1 cu.m of concrete the total parts = 1.57
Unit weight of cement = 1440 kgs
Cement = (1440/7)*1.57 = 322.97/50kgs =
6.46bags.
1 bag cement= 1.25cft
Sand = 6.46*1.25 = 8.075 cft*2 =16.15 cft
Aggregate = 8.075 cft*4 =32.3 cft.
Thats all...
Result:
Cement = 6.46 bags
Sand = 16.15 cft
Aggregate = 32.3 cft.

Re: How to calculate the cement, sand quantity for plastering? (10'x10')10mm thick
ratio 1:5. wht"s the formula?

10'X10'=100 sft.
converted in to sqm.=100/10.76=9.29 sqm.
ratio= 1:5, 1+5=6
for cement----1/6 x 1.52=.25 m3 x
35.28=8.93/1.25=7.15
so 7.15 bag in a cum. so for 20mm thk.
for cum. 9.29 sqm x .020 mm = .18 cum.
therefore --7.15 x .18m3 = 1.28 bag answer
for sand------5/6 x 1.52=1.26 m3 x 35.28=44.68
cft./1cum.
so 44.68 x .18m3 = 8 cft answer
1.28 bag of cement
8 cft of sand. required in 10'10 wall with 20mm thk.
