What is the use of RCC?
RCC that is reinforced cement concrete which is composed of cement(mainly),sand(fine aggregate),metal(coarse aggregate)and water.Which is further more supported by iron which makes it RCC from ordinary cement concrete.
What is fine aggregate?
Fine aggregates are the aggregates whose size is less than 4.75 mm.Example: Sand is used as fine aggregate in the preparation of concrete and cement mortar.
What is meant by binder material in concrete?
The binder in concrete is usually cement. Cement causes the aggregate and sand to bind together mechanically and harden to make a solid surface.
What is the process of calculating quantity of cement sand metal in concrete mix design?
Choose the grade of concrete & assume minimum water/cement ratio.Conduct some initial tests on the materials like cement, sand & metal(coarse aggregate).Tests like UNIT WEGHT, SPECIFIC GRAVITY,SIEVE ANALYSIS,SLUMP CONE TEST & COMPACTION FACTOR TEST. According to the obtained results do the mix design from IS CODE of IS800-10262 check for water cement ratio & calculate the quantity of cement, sand & coarse aggregate.
What is the cement content for M7.5 grade concrete?
For M7.5 concrete, the common mix ratio is 1:4:8. This means:1 part cement 4 parts fine aggregates (sand)8 parts coarse aggregates. These ratio is by volume.
How many bags of sand in 1 cubic meter?
You will need about 7 25kg bags of cement.
What are the ingredients of plain cement concrete?
Aggregate, Ordinary Portland Cement, sand, water
Should a sidewalk be made of cement or concrete?

How many bags of cement sand and stone goes into 1cubic yard of concrete?
10
How many bags of pre-mix cement is needed to mix 1 cubic yds?
Cement comes in bags that weigh 94 lbs. The volume of the bag is approximately 1 cubic foot. If you want to mix concrete which is a mixture of a coarse aggregate (gravel) and a fine aggregate (sand) and something to bond the two aggregates together (cement) then firstly you need to know the strength concrete that you require. For 1 cubic yard of 3000psi (pounds per square inch) strength you will need about 6 bags cement 12 cubic feet of sand and 24 cubic feet of gravel. Rule of thumb is the ratio should be 1:2:4 (cement:sand:gravel)
What is heated to make cement?
Actually, nothing is heated to create cement. Cement is a mechanically bonded combination of cement, sand, water, and gravel (aggregate).
How many bags of cement and sand do need for wall plastering?
100
How heavy is a bag of cement?
From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.

Is cement homogeneous?
Yes. The cement used to make concrete usually has sand, aggregate and Portland cement in it. That would make it heterogeneous.
How many 20 kg bags of cement will you need to mix with 13 cubic meters of sand if you want to mix at a ratio of 8 sand to 1 cement?
If a 20kg bag of cement=0.1m3 with 100 lots o 0.01 to 1m3 then you will need 12.5 bags per m3. So you need approx 11.5m3 of sand and 144 bags of cement (144 x 0.01 = 1.44m3) to give you a total of 12.94m3
What are the wastage limits for steel cement sand and aggregate?
For steel it can be taken as 2.5 % to 3%
