Calculation of Cement, Sand and Aggregate for M-10, M …

Calculation of Volume of Sand (Fine Aggregate) in 1 ㎥ of Concrete: Volume of sand= (sand/cement+sand+aggregate) x 1.54 . Quantity of sand = (sand/total volume) x1.54 = (2/7)x1.54 = 0.44 ㎥ 1 ㎥ of sand = 1600-1800 kg . Assume 1600 kg. 0.44 ㎥ of sand =1600 x 0.44 = 704 kg. Hence we require 704 kg of sand for 1 cu.m of concrete.
