how do we calculate quantity of cement , sand and
aggregates in 1 m3 of M30 grade concrete ?

Answer Posted / ranga

take the ratio 1:1.5:3
cement =1
sand =1.5
metal =3
So what is the ratio we want to mixing 1+1.5+3=5.5
Volum of wet cement concret is 1.54 to 1.57
unit weight of cement bag is 1440 kg/cum
one bag of cement = 50/1440 = 0.034722 cum

SOLUTION : CEMENT = 1.54/5.5 =0.28
=0.28/0.0347 = 8.069 ( 8 bags)
one bag of cement =50 kg X 8.069 = 403.45 kgs.

SAND solution =0.28 X 1.5 = 0.42 Cum
1.5 is the mixing proportion
METAL SOLUTION = 0.28 x 3 = 0.84 cUM.
3 is the mixing proportion
1 Cum cement concrete is 1:1.5:3 ratio

cement = 403.45 kgs.
sand = 0.42 Cum.
metal = 0.84 Cum.
