Answer / rajesh.d.v.s.p.
3000psi means M20 grade concrete
the ratio of m20 concrete is 1:1.5:3
total 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

Answer / awadhoot
3000 PSI concrete strength equals to 20 N/Sqmm.
characteristic compressive strength of concrete.
Now refer to Table 9 "Proposrtions for Nominal mix
concrete", on Page no. 23 of IS 456:2000.
Here, for M20 grade concrete, the total quantity of dry
aggregates by mass per 50 Kg of cement is given as 250 Kg.
Considering proportion of fine to coarse aggregates as 1:2,
Fine Aggregates can be calculated as 83 Kg. Say 100 Kg, then
coarse aggregates will be 150 Kg.
Quantity of water per 50 kg bag of cement can be allowed up
to 30 litre to the Max. However, target slump of 75-100mm
can be achieved by following trial and error method.
Hence, for 1:2:3 proportion of concrete,
Cement:Fine Aggregates:Coarse Aggregates
50Kg : 100Kg. : 150Kg.
Here Fine Aggregates = sand and
Coarse Aggregates= gravel

Q1) I am having an interview in a construction company for a large sewage project . Since I have not done any such project , there are some queries from my end. Pls. help me to solve them. I will be thankful to you :- a) Normally for large project 400-600 houses & around 1600 peoples , how much dia pipe is used and which type of pipe is used? b) For trenching , I have heard that IS 1200 implies, what are the rules of calculating earthwork in case of depth of 2m or above ? c) To prevent soil to fall when depth of trench is more , what steps are taken and how there qty. is calculated . Like I have heard about timbering . what is this ? d) What are the rules for disposing off the excavated soil ? e) How the pipes that are used are being jointed? f) In case of cleaning on choks , is there any intermediate things provided? g) For foul gases any outlets are provided thru out length of pipeline? h) What is the flow digram like from houses thru small pipe to main pipeline than where main pipeline disposes wastage ? i) Any other thing that has to be kept in mind while calculating earth work for excavation like steps are made and other things? How earthwork is calculated in case of steps ? Pls. explain with a sketch. Regards,
