Requirement of cement, sand and aggregate for one cube (150mm×150mm×150mm) concrete volume

Requirement of cement, sand and aggregate for 1 cumec concrete volume ratio
         According to is-456 2000 dry concrete volume is equal to 1.54 to 1.57 wet concrete volume.

For 1 cumec volume=(1m×1m×1m)

Dry volume = 1 meter cube

Wet volume = 1×1.54 meter cube
                        = 1.54 meter cube

Example: requirement of cement, sand and aggregate for 1 meter cube volume in M20 grade concrete mix ratio 1:1.5:3
Ans: 
          Volume of 1 meter cube =1.54 meter                                                               cube

Volume of cement= 1.54/5.5 meter cube
                                  = 0.28 meter cube
               In kg          = 0.28×1440 kg
                                  = 403.2 kg

Volume of sand      = 0.28×1.5 meter cube
                                  = 0.42 meter cube
                   In cft      = 0.42× 35.315 cft
                                  = 14.832 cft

Volume of aggregate 
                                  = 0.28×3 meter cube
                                  = 0.84 meter cube
                  In cft      =  0.84×35.315 cft
                                  = 29.664 cft





Requirement of cement, sand and aggregate for for one cube (150mm×150mm× 150mm) concrete volume 
      According to the IS-456 2000 volume of dry concrete equal to 1.54 to 1.57 wet volume of concrete.
For one cube (150mm×150mm×150mm)

Dry volume = 0.003375 meter cube                               

Wet volume = 0.003375×1.54 meter cube
                        = 0.005197 meter cube

Q. Requirement cement, sand and aggregate for one cube (150mm×150mm×150mm) in M20 grade mix ratio 1:1.5:3

Ans. Volume of cube = 0.003375 meter cube

Cement = 0.005197/5.5
                = 0.0009449 meter cube
In kg       = 0.0009449×1440 kg
                = 1.36 kg

Sand      = cement volume ×1.5 meter cube
                = 0.0009449×1.5 meter cube
                = 0.001417 meter cube
In cubic feet (cft)
      Cft     = 0.001417×35.315 cft
                = 0.05 cft

Aggregate in cft
                = volume of cement ×3 meter cube
                = 0.0009449×3 meter cube
                = 0.002834 meter cube,
  Cft         = 0.002834×35.315 cft
                = 0.1 cft

Note: meter cube = cubic meter, cft( cubic              feet), 1 cubic meter = 35.315 cubic feet.
