With a fixed amount of cement in a unit volume of concrete, the strongest and most impermeable concrete is one that has the greatest density, i.e., which in a given unit volume has the largest percentage of solid materials. The use of the absolute minimum quantity of water required for proper placement ensures the greatest strength from the concrete.
For nominal Mix Cement consumption for M25 will be 570 kg per cum. and for Design Mix it can be optimised to 510 kg per cum.

On average, 8 cubic feet of concrete can weigh around 4,000-4,500 pounds, depending on the density of the concrete mix.
The density of one cubic foot of concrete typically ranges from about 140 to 150 pounds, depending on the mix and specific materials used. This translates to approximately 2,240 to 2,400 kilograms per cubic meter. Variations can occur based on factors such as the type of aggregates and additives used in the concrete mix.
On average, concrete weighs about 12.5 pounds per square foot per inch thick. This can vary based on the type and density of the concrete mix.
The area that 5 kg of concrete can cover depends on the thickness of the application. For a standard thickness of 10 cm (0.1 meters), 5 kg of concrete would cover approximately 0.05 square meters, given that the density of concrete is around 2,400 kg/m³. If the thickness changes, the coverage area will adjust accordingly. Always verify with specific mix designs for precise calculations.
A cubic yard of concrete typically weighs between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds (1.5 to 2 tons) depending on the density of the concrete mix.
Lean mix concrete is used for substructures like foundations,piles,etc.,Ready mix concrete is used for superstructures and also for mass construction.Generally, quality of ready mix concrete is good when compared to the lean mix concrete.Workability of lean mix concrete is high when compared to RMC.
Normal concrete has a density around 2400 kg/cubic meter or 4048 lb/cubic yard. There are many different kinds of concrete, many of which are much lighter. Cement is the liquid (or paste like) form, and tends to be much heavier than when it has cured into concrete. "Cement" is not concrete, but can be used to make concrete by mixing with sand, stone and water. The density of cement is about 3120kg/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.
A cubic yard of concrete weighs the same underwater as it does on land, which is approximately 4,000 to 4,500 pounds. The weight is determined by the density of the concrete mix, not the surrounding environment.
Density of M30 and any fresh concrete is 2400kg/cu.m and reinforced concrete density you can take 2500 kg/cu.m
