What is the quantity of cement, sand, and gravel to be used
in M20 grade of concrete for 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm of sand
(for cement please mention in kilos, and for sand and
gravel please mention it in CFT)

Answer Posted / rajendra

1000mmx1000mmx1000mm =1 mx1mx1m = 1cum ok
M20 Grade =1:11/2:3
summation of proportion=1+1.5+3=5.5
1.54cum of dry materials of concrete will yield only 1 cum
concrete after adding water.
1cum x1.54/5.5= 0.28 cum
so cement=0.28cum= 0.28/.0347=8.07 bags=403.5 kg
sand=0.42cum= 14.82 cft
aggregate=0.84cum= 29.65 cft
