Formula for calculating cement consumption for M20 grade nominal mix concrete?
M20 = 1:1.5:3
Volume = 1+1.5+3=(5.5 parts )
Total volume ingredients for using 2omm jelly =1.57
Volume of broken stone Require = (3/5.5) x 1.57 = .856 Cum
Volume of sand Require = (1.5/5.5 ) x 1.57 = .471 Cum
Volume of cement = (1/5.5) x 1.57 = .285 Cum
= .285 x1440 = 411 kg
= (8.22 bag )
For 1Cum of M20 ( 1:1.5:3 )
20mm jelly = 0.856 cu.m
sand = 0.472 cu.m
cement = 8.22 bag
Arguably the longest bridge is the Bang Na Expressway, in Bangkok, Thailand. It is 33.5 miles long (54 km), but is not considered a bridge because it does not cross a single body of water, instead crossing a river and canals.
The longest bridge running over a single body of water in the world is now the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China. 42km in length, it links China's eastern port city of Qingdao to the island of Huangdao. The bridge cost over $1.4 billion to build and was completed in mid-2011.

What is the development length in concrete?
Development Length is the shortest length needed for reinforcing bar so that the stresses can induced in the bar can increase from zero to the yield strength of the said bar. The development length is a function of the bar size, yield strength, concrete strength and other factors such as coating of the bar. Also, the development length of a bar is dependent to whether the bar is in tension or compression. Tension development lengths are larges than compression development lengths because in compression, the reinforcing bar gets some help from the concrete, while in tension it does not.

Why are the structures of bridges made from reinforced concrete and steel?
Generally, because concrete has massive compression strength and steel has incredible tensile strength. Combined, they make amazingly strong structures.
