Method of findingthe dry ingredient quantity of 1 m3
concrete.

Answer Posted / b.santosh kumar

you have to take 1.52 as constant for calculating concrete
mix ,let me explain it this 1.52 is the quqntity of total
dry aggregate which is required.so when ever u require to
know the quantity for any given mix .u need to add up the
ratio of mix and divide 1.54 by the sum of mix ratio u ll
get the quantity of cement for one cum
eg: suppose m20 mix u need to calculate the concrete then
simply add the ratio of m20 i.e 1:1.5:3 so the total is 5.5
and divide 1.52 by 5.5 u ll get 0.27 cum of cement which ll
b required for 1 cum of concrete and if u multiply it(0.27)
by 30 u ll get the no. of cement bags .follow the same rule
for diff type of mix

A 16 pile group, consisting of diameter concrete piles, were cast in situ in a clayey soil whose unconfined compressive strength is 1100 psf. Each pile is 60 ft long and the pile spacing is 2.5 times the pile diameter.The water table is at the ground surface and saturated unit weight of the clay is 118 lb/cu.ft. using a factor of safety 3 and a reduction factor =0.45, compute the allowable capacity of the piles acting as individuals

Design a cantilever type retaining wall to retain sand for 4m above the ground. The sand fall slopes at the rate of 1 vertical to 2 horizontal. The weight of sand is 18000 N/m3, the angle of repose being 30. The safe bearing capacity of the soil is 200 kn/m2 at 1/25m below the ground level. Use m 15 concrete mix.
