How much concrete can be made using one bag of cement?

Concrete strength is measured by "bag mix", meaning that the bag mix answers the question, how many bags of cement per yard of concrete. If you're looking for a "6 bag" mix, that means 6 bags of cement per yard of concrete. A "bag" of cement is 1 cubic foot. A yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet (3 X 3 X 3 = 27). If you want to make a "6 bag mix" of concrete, using 1 bag of cement, you would make 1/6 yard concrete with 1 bag of cement. If you would be content with a "5 bag mix", you could make 1/5 yard. Concrete is often defined as ratios of cement,sand,aggregate such as: 1:2:3 which is a very common mix. For a 1:2:3 mix you would need 1/6th of the volume to be cement. The dry ingredients are generally 1.6 x finished concrete volume. Therefore dry volumen for 1 cubic yard = 1.6 cu yards = 43.2 cu ft. 1/6 x 43.2 = 7.2cu ft. Therefore, if one bag is 1 cu ft we need 7.2 bags for a healthy 1:2:3 mix. A '6 bag mix' or a '5 bag mix' are a bit short on cement.

How much concrete is in an 80 lb bag?

Every 80lb concrete bag should be mixed with 4 quarts or 3.7 liters of water. This mixture will allow you to place aproximately .60cu/ft of concrete. There are 27 cu/ft in a cu/yd. The number then becomes .0222 yards per 80lb bag. Therefore 45 bags of 80lb (4000 psi) concrete ready mix will be enough for 1 yard of concrete.
