Answer / s k majumder

Meter Cubic wet volume = 1*1.52 =1.52 Meter Cubic dry vol.
= 1.52*35.33=53.70 cft

Hence for M-20 where nominal portion 1.1.5.3
Total volume comes to (1+1.5+3)= 5.5

Therefore Dry volume for one cubic meter.
Cement= 53.70/5.5=cft= 9.76cft= bag= 7.81 bag=8 bags
sand = 9.76*1.5=14.64 cft
stone = 9.76*3=29.28 ct

Answer / 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.

Answer / z.m mughal

M20 = 1:1½:3
Wet concrete = 1 cum
To convert wet to dry material of concrete, we multiply 1.54. (Note 1.54 is for concrete but if we calculate dry material of mortar, we will multiply 1.27)
1*1.54=1.54 cum (dry material)
Formula of material is
Ratio/sum of ratio * total material quantity
Sum of ratio = 1 1½ 3 = 5.5
Total material quantity = 1.54 cum

Cement, 1/5.5 * 1.54 = 0.28 cum
0.28/0.0354 = 7.909 bags , say 8 bags
(Note: 0.0354 is volume of 50kg cement bag in cum and 1.25 in cft).

Sand or fine aggregate, 1.5/5.5 * 1.54 = 0.42 cum

Coarse aggregate, 3/5.5 * 1.54 = 0.84 cum.

Respected Sir, I am from a hilly place called Darjeeling ,I have constructed house of 9 column out of which 4 of the column is under water , i have put rcc slab on top and on top of the rcc slab i have construced two room house with bricks and light roof , now i am planning to change the light roof with rcc slab for the two room, my main concern is will the column under water will hold the load of the new rcc slab coz it already 10 to 12 yrs old , i dont know what to do , can u advice me regarding this matter, weather to leave the upper floor roof light or make it rcc slab.(If i put the slab , it will require 45bags of cement and u calculate how much of steel and sand and pebbles) thanks with regard Anand
