How to calculate the sand and aggregate in concrete..

Answer / manzar

For example M15=1:2:4
Sum of ratio=1+2+4=7
Consider volume=2 cu.m wet volume
Dray volume=wet volume+54%wet volume=2+54/100*2=3.08 cubic meter
Cement=3.08*1/7*1440=633.3kg
Sand=3.08*2/7*35.31=31.07 cft
Aggregate=3.08*4/7*35.31=62.14cft
