It you're trying to make concrete, that formula will work if you don't add too much water, it's lean on the cement.

Should a sidewalk be made of cement or concrete?

Concrete is what you make a sidewalk from. To make concrete, you mix Portland cement, sand, gravel (aggregate) and water. The cement holds the aggregate together.

How much aggregate cement sand is required to make 1 cube concrete?

To make 1 cubic meter of concrete, the typical mix ratio for a standard concrete is about 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate (1:2:3). This means you would need approximately 350 kg of cement, 700 kg of sand, and 1050 kg of aggregate. The total volume for these materials should add up to 1 cubic meter when factoring in the mixing process and compaction. Adjustments can be made based on specific project requirements or desired concrete strength.


How many bags of cement and sand and aggregate?

To determine how many bags of cement, sand, and aggregate you need, you'll first need to know the specific mix ratio for your project (e.g., for concrete, a common mix is 1:2:3, which means 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate). Then, calculate the total volume of concrete needed and convert that into the respective volumes of each material based on the mix ratio. Finally, divide the volume of each material by the volume contained in a standard bag (usually 94 pounds for cement) and the bulk density for sand and aggregate to get the number of bags required.


What is calculation for sand in cement mix?

To calculate the amount of sand in a cement mix, you typically use the desired mix ratio, which is expressed in terms of parts of cement, sand, and aggregate. For example, in a standard 1:2:4 mix (1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 4 parts aggregate), if you have 1 cubic meter of concrete, you would divide that volume into 7 parts (1+2+4=7). The amount of sand needed would be 2/7 of the total volume, which is approximately 0.29 cubic meters or 29% of the total mix volume. Adjust the ratio and volume based on specific project requirements.


What are the 3 substances that cement is mixed with to make concrete?

Cement is mixed with sand, gravel, and water to make concrete. Sand and gravel act as the aggregate to provide strength and structure, while water is crucial for hydration of the cement to form a solid material.


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 do you know if your stairs are cement or concrete?

um, they'll be hard. duh. ----------------- concrete is made of cement, sand and aggregate (stone, gravel, etc) so its a redundant question. Cement by itself is not very strong, its is a binder used to make concrete. In some cases sand is also the aggregate (QuickCrete is one product name)
