First, things are not made of cement- they are made of concrete- which consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. Mix them using 1 part cement, 1.5 parts sand, 3 parts gravel.

To calculate how much CONCRETE you need, multiply depth X width X length in inches, then divide by 1728. This will tell you the number of cubic FEET of concrete. To get the number of cubic YARDS, divide the cubic feet by 27.

If you are using packaged concrete mix (Sakrete is one) then an 80 lb bag makes 0.6 cubic feet of concrete. NOTE: If you are working with concrete for the first time- do not add too much water (weakens the concrete) and do not get wet concrete on bare skin- it will cause a chemical burn. Wash it off promptly if you do.

How many cubic meters of cement are needed to cover a walkway 7 m long o95 m wide 10 centimeters deep?

To find the volume of cement needed, first convert the depth to meters (10 cm = 0.1 m). Then, calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and depth: 7m x 0.95m x 0.1m = 0.665 cubic meters of cement are needed to cover the walkway.


How to calculate how much concrete is needed for a project?

To calculate the amount of concrete needed for a project, you need to determine the volume of the area to be filled with concrete. This can be done by multiplying the length, width, and height of the area. Once you have the volume, you can then calculate the amount of concrete needed by dividing the volume by the coverage area of one cubic yard of concrete. This will give you the total number of cubic yards of concrete needed for the project.
