Concrete Ingredients Calculation

For Cement, Sand and Coarse Aggregate.

This is a Volumetric Calculation.
Assuming we need 2 m3 of concrete for M20 Concrete Mix, (Mix Ratio, M20 = 1
: 1.5 : 3)
Total Part of the Concrete = 1+1.5+3 = 5.5 Parts
Therefore, Cement Quantity = (Cement Part / Concrete Parts ) * Concrete
Volume
= (1/5.5)* Concrete Volume = (1/5.5)*2 = 0.3636
m3
Density of Cement = 1440 kg/ m3 = 0.3636 X 1440 = 523 kg = 10.5 Approx.
Bags
Sand Quantity = ( Sand Part / Concrete Parts ) * Concrete Volume = (1.5/5.5)
* 2 = 0.5454 m3
Coarse Aggregate = (Coarse Aggregate Part / Concrete Parts ) * Concrete
Volume
= (3/5.5) * 2 = 1.09 m3

Water Cement Ratio

According to IS 10262 (2009), Assuming Water-Cement Ratio for the Concrete
as 0.45
Required Amount of Water = W/C Ratio X Cement Volume

Therefore, Water = 0.45 X 0.3636 m3 = 0.16362 m3

Unit Weight of Water = 1000 litres/m3
Required Amount of Water = 0.16362 X 1000 = 163.62 litres
Therefore, we need 10.5 bags of cement, 0.5454 m3 of sand, 1.09 m3 of
Coarse aggregates and 163.62 litres of water.
