how to calculate cement bag in RCC

Answer Posted / dhavaljit rathod

BULK DENSITY (SPECIFIC GRAVITY) OF CEMENT = 1.52
BULK DENSITY (SPECIFIC GRAVITY) OF 40mm AGG. = 1.57
BULK DENSITY (SPECIFIC GRAVITY) OF 20mm AGG. = 1.54

M 20 = 1 : 1.5 : 3
HENCE, (1+1.5+3) = 5.5 (Total MIX)
FOR CEMENT CONSUMPTION,

(1/5.5)X 1.52 x 1440 = 397.87 kg (where, 1 CUM = 1440 kg,
and 1.52=Cement Sp.Gr.)
SAY = 400 kg
BAGS = 400/50 = 8 nos.

A doubly reinforced concrete beam is 25 cm wide and 50cm deep to the centre of tension reinforcement. The centre of compression is steel is 5cm from the compression edge. The areas of the compression and the tension steel are 10.16cm2 and 12.56 cm2 if m=18 and the bending moment at the section is 7,000,000 N-cm. Calculate the stress in concrete and steel.
