Answer Posted / daniel dandan
for 1 cu.m of concrete, (1:2:4)
1=cement; 2=sand; 4=gravel
add 25% for loose volume(to cover voids),
total concrete volume = 1.25 cu.m.
total parts = 1+2+4 = 7 parts
cement = (1/7)*1.25
= 0.1786 cu.m
density of cement = 1440kg/cu.m
thus, 0.1786 * 1440 = 257.184kg.
for 40kg per bag of cement:
bag of cement = 257.14kg/(40kg per bag)
= 6.4 bags....answer

Formula for calculating the volume of bulb in underreamed pile
In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
