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.

To calculate the total concrete mix for 5 cubic meters with the specified ratio of 1 bucket of cement, 4 buckets of sand, and 8 buckets of 40mm metal, first determine the total parts: 1 + 4 + 8 = 13 parts. For 5 cubic meters, each part would be approximately 0.385 cubic meters (5 / 13). Therefore, you would need about 0.385 cubic meters of cement, 1.54 cubic meters of sand, and 3.08 cubic meters of 40mm metal. Adjust bucket sizes accordingly to match these volumes based on the bucket's capacity.
To lay 67 2x2 slabs, you typically need a mix of sand and cement for the mortar or concrete. For a standard slab, you might use a 1:3 ratio of cement to sand. Assuming each slab requires around 0.1 cubic meters of concrete, you would need approximately 6.7 cubic meters of concrete total. This translates to about 1.67 cubic meters of cement and 5 cubic meters of sand, though actual requirements can vary based on specific project details and mix ratios.
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 & 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
For one cubic meter of concrete used in a slab, approximately 0.3 to 0.5 cubic meters of sand is typically required, depending on the specific mix design. A common concrete mix ratio for slabs is 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate), which translates to about 0.4 cubic meters of sand for each cubic meter of concrete. However, the exact amount may vary based on the desired strength and workability of the concrete.
1 cubic foot=100 lbs of sand 1728 cubic in.=100 lbs of sand 864 cubic in.= 50 lbs of sand 432 cubic in.= 25 lbs of sand and so on and so on
A yard is 91.44 cm One cubic yard is 91.44x91.44x91.44=764554.857984 cubic cm, or .765 cubic meters. Concrete and sand are often measured in cubic yards. In metric countries it is measured in cubic meters. Roughly there are 1.3 cubic yards in a cubic meter.
With dry sand. 1.602 tonnes
The weight of sand varies depending on its density, but on average, one cubic meter of sand weighs about 1.6 to 1.8 tons. Therefore, 100 cubic meters of sand would weigh approximately 160 to 180 tons.
The amount of sand in 1 unit can vary depending on the type and density of sand, but typically 1 unit of sand is equivalent to 1 to 1.5 cubic meters. It's important to confirm the specific volume of sand with the supplier to ensure accurate calculations for your project.
Here is only an answer possible, when water is assumed. 1 cubic meter weighs 1 metric ton.
Divide by its density.
Using building sand density @ 110 pounds per cubic foot (1.762 tonne per cubic metre) > volume = mass / density volume = 1 / 1.762 = 0.5675 cubic metres > Note: if you have a different value for the sand density, replace 1.762 with your figure ( in tonnes per cubic metre) , and calculate.
The density of chromite sand can vary, but on average it is around 2.7 tons per cubic meter. Therefore, 1 ton of chromite sand would be approximately 0.370 cubic meters.
To convert tons of sand to cubic meters, you need to know the density of the sand. On average, dry sand has a density of about 1.6 tons per cubic meter. Therefore, 30 tons of sand would be approximately 18.75 cubic meters (30 tons ÷ 1.6 tons/m³ = 18.75 m³). However, this value can vary based on the type of sand and its moisture content.
You need 1.35 cubic meters for each centimeter deep.
200 000 000 (cubic meters) = 261 590 124 cubic yards
A standard dump truck can haul approximately six cubic meters of sand. Sand and gravel are aggregates for foundations in Philippine construction.
