Computation for concrete mixture

I. Data:

1. Specific gravity of Sand/Gravel 2.50


2. Specific gravity of cement 3.15
3. Density of water 62.40 PCF
4. Dry rodded weight of sand 90.00 PCF
5. Dry rodded weight of gravel 100.00 PCF

II. Mixture 1:2:3

Computation:

1. Absolute volume of cement = 40kg x 2.20 lbs/kg = .447 CF


3.15 x 62.40 PCF
2. Absolute volume of sand = 90 PCF X 2 = 1.154 CF
2.50 X 62.40
3. Absolute volume of gravel = 100 PCF x 3 = 1.923 CF
2.50 X 62.40
4. Absolute volume of water = 6.00 gals = 0.802 CF
7.48 gals/CF _________
5. Absolute volume of concrete 4.326 CF (0.122cm)

III. Materials needed per CM of concrete

1. Cement:
No. of bags = 1 Bag = 8.20 bags
0.122
2. Sand:
Volume = 2 CF = 0.464 CM
0.122 x 35.28
3. Gravel
Volume = 3 CF = 0.697 CM
0.122 x 35.28

IV. For 43.81 CM concrete

1. Cement = 43.81 x 8.20 = 360 bags


2. Sand = 43.81 x 0.464 = 21 CM
3. Gravel = 43.81 x 0.697 = 31 CM
