when water is added to the cement,cement volume decreases due to removal of air from cement particles. this reduction in cement volume is the bulkage
volume of 1 cement bag is 0.035cu.m.
To calculate the density of cement, you need to know the mass of the cement and its volume. Divide the mass of the cement by its volume to get the density. The density of cement is typically around 1,440 kg/m³.
The volume is(1000)/(density of cement in kg/m3) cubic meters.
as unit weight of cement varies from 830kg/cu.m-1650kg/cu.m volume of cement of 50 kg. varies 0.060241cu.m to 0.030303cu.m if the cement is port-land cement unit weight would be 1440kg/cu.m then the volume would be 0.034472 cu.m
The volume of a 42.5 kg bag of cement can be estimated based on the density of the cement, which is typically around 1,440 kg/m³. Using this density, the volume can be calculated as follows: Volume = Mass / Density. Thus, the volume of a 42.5 kg bag of cement is approximately 0.0295 cubic meters, or about 29.5 liters.
Gel is the hydrated cement while space is volume occupied by hydrated cement+capillary pores. Hence gel/space ratio is the fraction of volume occupied by hydrated cement in the total space occupied by hydrated cement and capillary pores
1 94-pound bag of cement is approximately equal to 1 cubic foot.
using a cubic ruler
Sand / cement ratio = 3 , that means: 1 part of cement to 3 parts of sand by volume , with sufficient water to get workable mixture.
Soundness of cement is the property of hardened cement paste undergoing large change in volume after setting without delayed destructive expansion. This destructive expansion is caused by excessive amounts of free lime or magnesia. This change in volume may cause crack and disintegration of concrete.Soundness of cement can be checked by using Le-Chatliers apparatus.
