M10 grade
Problemstatement
Wet volume calculation: 6m x 6m x 0.15m = 5.4 cubic meters. Step-01 Download PDF - www.CivilMix.com
Conversion of wet volume to dry volume: Wet volume x 1.54 = Dry volume 5.4 cubic meters x 1.54 = 8.316 cubic meters Step-02 Download PDF - www.CivilMix.com

For M10 grade, the Cement : Sand : Aggregate ratio is 1:3:6

Cement quantity = (Dry volume of concrete x Cement ratio) / (Sum of ratios)

Cement quantity calculation = (8.316 cubic meters x 1) / (1+3+6) = 0.8316 cubic meters

Step-03 Download PDF - www.CivilMix.com

Number of cement bags calculation: Cement quantity / Volume of one cement bag

Number of cement bags required: 0.8316 cubic meters / 0.035 cubic meters = approximately 24 cement bags

(volume of 50kg cement bag = 0.035 cubic meters )

For M10 grade, the Cement : Sand : Aggregate ratio is 1:3:6

Calculation of sand quantity: Sand quantity = (Dry volume of concrete x Sand ratio) / (Sum of ratios) Sand quantity calculation =(8.316 cubic meters x 3) / (1+3+6) = 2.4948 cubic meters.

Step-05 Download PDF - www.CivilMix.com

For M10 grade, the Cement : Sand : Aggregate ratio is 1:3:6

Aggregate quantity = (Dry volume of concrete x Aggregate ratio) / (Sum of ratios)

Aggregate quantity calculation = (8.316 cubic meters x 6) / (1+3+6) = 4.9696 cubic meters

To make a concrete slab of size 6m x 6m x 0.15m and M10 grade, you will require approximately

24 cement bags,

2.4948 m3 of sand, and

4.9696 m3 of aggregate.
