what"s the formula to calculate the water for M15 grade
concrete?

Answer Posted / fazil

As the density of water is 1. if we multiply the water
cement ratio with the cement being used , we will get the
amount of water. For example if water cement ratio is 0.45
and cement being used is 400 kg per cum, then the water
required will be 0.45x 400=180 litres per cum of concrete.
