Summary: Site Engineer

Cement : 22.4 bag,
Sand : 42 cft, Social
Stone chips: 84 cft. Structural

In this estimation, we use cubic feet as our concrete unit. If you want Uncategorized
to use cubic meter, same method can be applied. But that will be
Vastu
time-consuming. The easiest way to estimate concrete materials for
di erent unit is, apply the above result as percentage. That means,
Cement content for 100 unit of 1:1.5:3 ratio concrete is 28% (unit will
be as concrete unit), Sand is 42% and Stone chips is 84%.

Now lets calculate the water content of concrete. Suppose, water-

cement ratio for concrete is speci ed 0.45. That means,
water/cement = 0.45, or W/C = 0.45.
for 1 bag cement, water is, = 0.45 x 1.25 (as we know, 1 bag cement
25k
equal to 1.25 cft),
Water = 0.5625 cft.
We know 1 cubic feet water is equal to 28.31685 litre,
So we can write, water = 0.5625 x 28.31685 = 15.92 litre, say, 16 litre.
So One bag cement needs 16 liter of water for 0.45 W/C ratio.
Thats it.

Here, one thing should be cleared that someone assume the dry
volume of concrete is equal to one and half times of wet volume. But
it is better to use 1.54 for calculating dry volume.
