The density of concrete can vary from 2,300 to 3,400 kg/m3.
Density of normal concrete is in the order of about 2400 kg. per cubic metre. The densityof light-weight concrete will be less than about density 1900 kg per cubic metre.The high density concrete have unit weight ranging from about 3360 kg percubic metre to 3840 kg per cubic metre.
The density of reinforced concrete is 2500 kg/cum or 25 kn/cum
The Civil Engineering Data Standards manual states the density of many grades of concrete. Standard density for fresh M-25 concrete is: 2414 Kg/ M3.

Dry concrete has a greater density than wet concrete because the water content in wet concrete decreases its overall density. When the water in wet concrete evaporates during the curing process, the concrete becomes denser.
The fraction of a piece of concrete submerged in water depends on its density compared to the density of the water. If the density of the concrete is greater than the density of water, the fraction submerged will be less than 1. If the density of the concrete is less than the density of water, the entire piece of concrete will be submerged.
Density of M30 and any fresh concrete is 2400kg/cu.m and reinforced concrete density you can take 2500 kg/cu.m
The main difference between normal weight concrete and lightweight concrete by volume is the density of the aggregate used in the mix. Normal weight concrete contains aggregate with a density around 2400 kg/m3, while lightweight concrete uses lightweight aggregate such as expanded clay, shale, or shale to reduce the overall density of the concrete. The reduced density of lightweight concrete makes it more suitable for applications where weight is a concern, such as in construction of high-rise buildings or for insulation purposes.

Concrete has a relative density of 2.4 (although see the note below). Calculation of a relative density requires comparison to a reference material. Most commonly this is water. Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3 while concrete has a density of 2400 kg/m3. As such concrete is 2.4 times denser than water and so it's reference density is 2.4.
