The amount of each material (ie cement, water and aggregates) affects the properties of hardened concrete. (See CHAPTER 2 Concrete Properties) CEMENT The cement powder, when mixed with water, forms a paste. This paste acts like glue and holds or bonds the aggregates together. There are six major types of cement sold in Australia:

Get PriceGrading limits and maximum aggregate size are specified because these properties affect the amount of aggregate used as well as cement and water requirements, workability, pumpability, and durability of concrete. In general, if the water-cement ratio is chosen correctly, a wide range in grading can be used without a major effect on strength.

Get PriceNominal mixtures of fixed cement- aggregate ratio (by volume) vary extensively in strength and should result in fewer or over content mixtures. For this reason, minimal compressive strength included in many features, these mixes are known as standard mixtures. On this concrete mix design, the letter M specifies the quantity which is the
Get PriceSep 07, 2021Concrete mix ratio simply means the amount by volume of cement, fine aggregate (which can be sharp sand) and coarse aggregate (which can be granite, gravel, etc). For example, a concrete mix ratio of 1:2:4 simple means 1 head-pan of cement

Dry volume of Concrete = 1.54 cum (increased by 54% for dry volume) Cement = 1.54/ (1+1.5+3)28.8 = 8.064 say 8 bags. (1 cum = 28.8 bags) Sand = 1.54/ (1+1.5+3)1.5 = 0.42 cum or 14.83
Get PriceAug 11, 2021Typically the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm. A larger size, 40mm, is more common in mass concrete. Larger aggregate diameters reduce the quantity of cement and water needed because of its lower Voids. When the aggregate is sieved through 4.75mm sieve, the aggregate retained is called coarse aggregate.

Get PriceNov 04, 2021So, theoretically, for 1cu.m of M25 concrete, we need to have 0.25cu.m of cement. But in practice, whenever we estimate quantity of cement for concrete or mortar, we consider 50-55% extra quantity. This extra quantity is for voids, wastage, etc. So, for preparing 1cu.m of M25 concrete, quantity (dry volume) of cement required = 1.55 X 0.25 = 0

One of the reasons is that the density and composition of calcium silicate formed at different water-cement ratios may be slightly different.
