calculation of cement bags in 1:2:4 concrete mix
Answer Posted / daniel dandan
for 1 cu.m of concrete, (1:2:4)
1=cement; 2=sand; 4=gravel
add 25% for loose volume(to cover voids),
total concrete volume = 1.25 cu.m.
total parts = 1+2+4 = 7 parts
cement = (1/7)*1.25
= 0.1786 cu.m
density of cement = 1440kg/cu.m
thus, 0.1786 * 1440 = 257.184kg.
for 40kg per bag of cement:
bag of cement = 257.14kg/(40kg per bag)
= 6.4 bags....answer
