Concrete is measured in metric volume via cubic yards. Standards consider a 94 lb. bag of cement to be one cubic foot when freshly packed. 94 evenly fits into the 1-2-3 mix ratio when figuring the recipe 1 part cement- 2 parts gravel- 3 parts sand to make concrete.

How heavy is a bag of cement?

From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.

How many bags of cement sand and gravel to make 1 square yard of concrete?

Figure about 1/2 cubic foot per 60 lb bag. The basic formula is to use equal amounts of cement, sand, and gravel. There are 27 cubic yards per cubic foot. It depends upon how thick you are planning to pour the concrete. For one foot thick, you would need 9 cubic feet of concrete. For 6" thick, you would need 4 1/2 cubic feet. I'll give you the answers for 1 ft thick and for 6" thick. For 1 foot thick, you need 9 cubic feet at 1/2 cubic foot per 60 lb bag equals 18-60 lb bags. That's six 60 lb bags of concrete, plus six 60 lb bags of sand, plus 360 lbs of gravel. For 6 inches thick, divide each of these by 2 to give 3-60 lb bags of concrete, 3-60 lb bags of sand, plus 180 lbs of gravel.
