The density of granular soils such as sands depends on their level of compaction. See table below:A

Description - SPT N - Bulk Density
Very loose - 0 to 4 - <1600
Loose - 4 to 10 - 1600 to 1800
Medium dense - 10 to 30 - 1800 to 1900
Dense - 30 to 50 - 1900 - 2100
Very dense - >50 - >2100

Where SPT N = Standard Penetration Test No.
Bulk Density = kgm-3

As such the mass of 500m3 of sand may be anywhere from less than 800 to over 1,050 metric tonnes.

How much sand and cement do you need to fill a 6 meters x 1.70m?

Calculating that is a CUBIC measurement, which means you need a value for width, Length and depth. in metric measure it is easier than English standards .. Once you have those three just multiply the three &amp; you will know how much you need. IF your fill area is 2 Meters wide, 3 meters long and 1/2 meters deep the equation calculates like this (2X3X .5)=3 cubic meters Hope that helps

How much sand and gravel do you need to make 1 cubic meter of concrete?

To make 1 cubic meter of concrete, you typically need about 1.5 cubic meters of sand and gravel combined. The general ratio for mixing concrete is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts gravel. Therefore, for 1 cubic meter of concrete, you would need 0.5 cubic meters of cement, 0.75 cubic meters of sand, and 0.75 cubic meters of gravel.

What is the tonnes of sand required in one cubic metre of grade 25 concrete?

In grade 25 concrete, which typically has a mix ratio of 1:1:2 (cement:sand:aggregate), approximately 0.5 cubic metres of sand is required per cubic metre of concrete. Since the density of sand is about 1,600 kg per cubic metre, this translates to around 800 kg of sand needed for one cubic metre of grade 25 concrete. This amount can vary slightly based on the specific mix design and moisture content of the sand.
