how to calculate 1:5:8 ratio concrete cement, sand, metal
and water please give me brief calculation

Answer Posted / Dharmendra Singh Shishodia

For a 1:5:8 concrete mix, for each part of cement (cement = 1), you'll need 5 parts of sand (sand = 5) and 8 parts of stone aggregate (stone aggregate = 8). The weight of these materials will vary based on their specific gravity. For instance, a common mix might be: 1 part cement (1000kg/m³), 5 parts sand (2400kg/m³), and 8 parts stone aggregate (2700kg/m³). To calculate the total weight of materials for a specific volume (e.g., 1 m³), you'll add their individual weights.

5. Two long boundary walls run parallel to each other at a center to center distance of 1 meter apart. The width and height of the first wall are 0.30 m and 2.5m respectively. While those of the second are respectively 0.18m and 3.5m. Plot the distribution of vertical stress intensity due to walls on a horizontal plane, 1m below ground level. The walls have negligible depth of foundation and are made of brick masonry (y = 19.2 kN/m cu)
