How to find quantity of cement bags, sand, coarse aggregate, from 1m3 of concrete of m20 design?

Answer Posted / banti kumar

The dry volume of concrete is 15.2 for 10m³ of concrete.
The ratio of M20 is 1:1½:3
Therefore 1+1½+3 =5.5
Now 15.2÷5.5=2.76 say 2.8cum

Sand =2.8×1½=4.8 cum
Coarse aggregate=2.8×3=8.4cum
No of cement bags =2.8÷0.035=80 bags(10m3)
Therefore for 1m3 80÷10= 8 bags.

I used Etabs software to analyse a high-rise building. And I want to use templated UBC-codes inside to calculate the Seismic load. My question is: whether or not I have to control the seismic load by base shear load which is manual calculation? (just for more clarification: I can control this by input the scale factor into Eartquake definition in Etabs) I would highly appreciate your answer.
