Yes, Portland cement rocks, sand, and water are indeed a compound.
i am paving drive way with Boston city paves i want Portland cement type 11 mixed with sand and additive. thank you
What I usually use is: 1 Part Portland Cement 2 Parts Medium to Coarse Sand 3 Parts Gravel or Rock
7 Parts sand to 1 Part portland cement
To find out how many 94-pound bags of Portland cement are needed for a yard of sand, you typically use a 1:2:3 mix ratio (cement, sand, gravel) for concrete. Since a yard of sand weighs about 1,600 pounds, you'll need approximately 533 pounds of cement for that mix. Given that each bag of Portland cement weighs 94 pounds, you would need about 6 bags (533 ÷ 94 ≈ 5.67). Therefore, you would need 6 bags of Portland cement for a yard of sand.
To make one cubic yard of concrete, you typically need about 1 part Portland cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts gravel. This translates roughly to 1 bag (94 lbs) of Portland cement, 0.5 cubic yards of sand, and 0.75 cubic yards of gravel. Adjustments may be needed based on the specific mix design and desired strength. Always consult local guidelines or concrete calculators for precise measurements.
Lime, sand , sometimes Portland cement, and water.
Lime, sand and Portland cement make modern stucco.
It serves as the binder for sand and gravel when making concrete.
well concrete mix is a 1/3 gravel , 1/3 sand and 1/3 portland cement . I hope this helps.
the truth is no 2 guys use the same amount of morter but a good guess on average would be a ton of sand and 5 bags of type S portland for 3/8" morter joints. ps. i recomend buying sand and portland over bags of mix. easy ratio half bag of portland to two full 5 gallonbuckets. hope this was of some help.
Aggregate (rocks), sand, and portland cement. And water, initially. That's a typical mix.
