HOW MANY BAG OF CEMENT IN 1 CUBIC METRE OF CONCRETE How many bag o f cement are in 1 cu.

m concrete ratio 1:2:4 with 20mm aggregate, water-cement ratio 0.5? SOLUTION Total ratio =1+2+4=7 CEMENT % of cement in 1m2 of concrete = 1/7 = 0.143 Add 50% waste =0.072 TOTAL =0.215 In 1 m2 of cement we have 28.8bags of cement Therefore % of cement in 1 m2 of concrete = 0.215 x 28.8 = 6.192 bags Approximately 7bags. How many bag o f cement are in 1 cu.m concrete ratio 1:3:6 with 20mm aggregate, water-cement ratio 0.5? SOLUTION Total ratio =1+3+6=10 CEMENT % of cement in 1m2 of concrete = 1/10 = 0.100 Add 50% waste =0.050 TOTAL =0.150 In 1 m2 of cement we have 28.8bags of cement Therefore % of cement in 1 m2 of concrete = 0.150 x 28.8 = 4.32 bags Approximately 5bags.
