Detailed calculation to calculate the volume of one cement bag in cubic metres /litres/ cubic feet

Detailed calculation to calculate the Volume of 1 cement bag

Cement play a major roll in construction work. It acts as a binder that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together.

Here we shall learn whole process how can we calculate the volume of 1 bag of cement.

We know that
Mass= volume × Density
Then
Volume = mass /Density

We also know that
Density of cement = 1440 kg/m^3

Weight of 1 cement bag = 50 KG

Putting the values in the formula
Volume = mass /Density

Volume of one cement bag = 50/1440 cubic metre
Vol. of one cement bag = 0.03472 cubic metre
Volume of one cement bag can be given in litre
We know that
1 cubic metre= 1000 litre
Then
Volume of one cement bag = 0.03472 × 1000
Vol. Of one cement bag = 34.72 litres
Volume of one cement bag can be given in cubic feet
We know that
1 cubic metre = 35.315 cubic feet
Then

Volume of one cement bag = 0.03472 cubic metre
= 0.03472 × 35.315 cubic feet
Vol. Of one cement bag = 1.226 cubic feet

निर्माण कार्य में सीमेंट एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। यह बांधने का कार्य करता है जो कठोर, और अन्य सामग्रियों को एक साथ बांधे हुए रखता है।

यहां हम संपूर्ण प्रक्रिया को सीखेगै कि हम सीमेंट के 1 बैग की मात्रा की गणना कैसे कर सकते हैं।

1 सीमेंट बैग की मात्रा की गणना करने के लिए विस्तृत गणना

हम जानते हैं कि

द्रव्यमान = आयतन × घनत्व

अत:

आयतन = द्रव्यमान / घनत्व

हम यह भी जानते हैं

सीमेंट का घनत्व = 1440 किग्रा / मी ^ 3

1 सीमेंट बैग का वजन = 50 KG

सूत्र में मान रखने पर

आयतन = द्रव्यमान / घनत्व

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन= 50/1440 घन मीटर

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन = 0.03472 घन मीटर

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन लीटर में दिया जा सकता है

हम जानते हैं कि

1 घन मीटर = 1000 लीटर

अत:

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन = 0.03472 × 1000

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन= 34.72 लीटर

घन फीट में एक सीमेंट बैग की मात्रा दी जा सकती है

हम जानते हैं कि

1 घन मीटर = 35.315 घन फीट

अत:

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन = 0.03472 घन मीटर

= 0.03472 × 35.315 घन फीट

एक सीमेंट बैग का आयतन = 1.226 घन फीट

Difference between nominal mix and design mix of concrete

Difference between nominal mix and design mix of concrete - Concrete is most extensively used mix to achieve desired properties of structure. There are two methods to prepare the concrete mix. 1-Nominal mix 2- Design mix Nominal mix - Nominal mix specifies the fix proportion of the cement , sand and aggregates. Ingredients of concrete are mixed on the basis of volume. It is a site level mixing of ingredients to prepare concrete mix. Such type of concrete mix is generally used in small quantity or where load is not high. There are many grade of nominal mix concrete like M-5, M-7.5, M-10, M-15 and M-20. In above grades of concrete mix the letter 'M' refers to Mix where as the value like 5,7.5,10,15 etc indicates the compressive characteristic strength of concrete after 28 days in specified conditios. Unit of this compressive characteristic strength of concrete is Newton /mm 2. The ratio of various grade of concrete is being given below - M-5...

Rolling pattern and process, number of rolling passes, speed of roller(Soil compactor and tandem) , precautions During rolling operation of various road layers as per MORTH and Indian standard

This article includes 1-What is Rolling and why rolling is required in road construction 2- Type of roller (soil compactor and tandem) 3-Process of rolling and speed of roller 4 Required number of rolling passes and Rolling pattern 5-Precautions during rolling 1-What is Rolling and why rolling is required in road construction Rolling means pressing the particles close to each other. Air during Rolling is expelled from the void space in the soil mass and, therefore, the mass density is increased. Rolling of a soil mass is done to improve its engineering properties. Rolling is an artificial process to achieve compaction in any required road layers. which is done to increase the density (unit weight) of the soil to improve its properties before it is put to any use. 2- Type of roller Roller are generally divided in two A- Tandem B- Soil compactor Rolling is done with the help of roller (soil compactor and tandem).Generally plain rol...
