This document provides a formula and example calculation for determining the quantity of materials needed for a batch of concrete. The formula takes into account the mix proportions, bulk densities, specific gravities, and water-cement ratio. An example is shown for a mix with 1 part cement, 1.5 parts fine aggregate, and 3 parts coarse aggregate, with a water-cement ratio of 0.4. Using this example, the document calculates that 1 bag of cement (50kg) can produce 0.13202 cubic meters of concrete.

Formula to calculate the desired quantity of materials is:
Vc: Absolute volume of fully compacted fresh concrete
W: Mass of water C: Mass of cement Fa: Mass of fine aggregates Ca: Mass of coarse aggregates Sc, Sfa and Sca are the specific gravities of cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates respectively. *AIR CONTENT IS IGNORED IN CALCULATION This method of calculation for quantity of material for concrete takes into account the mix proportions from design mix or nominal mixes for structural strength and durability requirement. FOR EXAMPLE: Consider concrete with mix proportion of 1:1.5:3 where, 1 is part of cement, 1.5 is part of fine aggregates and 3 is part of coarse aggregates of maximum size of 20 mm. The water cement ratio required for mixing of concrete is taken as 0.40 Assuming bulk densities of materials as follows: Cement = 1500 kg/m3 Sand = 1700 kg/m3 Coarse aggregates = 1650 kg/m3 Specific gravities of concrete materials are as follows: Cement = 3.15 Sand = 2.6 Coarse aggregates = 2.6. The percentage of entrained air assumed is 2%. The mix proportion of 1:1.5:3 by dry volume of materials can be expressed in terms of masses as:
Cement = 1 x 1500 = 1500
Sand = 1.5 x 1700 = 2550 Coarse aggregate = 3 x 1650 = 4950. RATIO OF MASSES WITH RESPECT TO CEMENT: Water cement ratio= 0.40 ABSOLUTE VOLUME OF CONCRETE FOR 50 KG (1 BAG) OF CEMENT: THEREFORE FROM ONE BAG OF CEMENT (50 KG) 0.13202 m3 OF CONCRETE CAN BE MADE.
FOR 1m3 OF CONCRETE 2% AIR IS ENTRAINED.
ACTUAL VOLUME OF CONCRETE= 1-0.02= 0.98m3
QUANTITY OF CEMENT REQUIRED FOR 1m3 OF CONCRETE=
0.98/0.13202=7.42 BAGS OF CEMENT =7.42* 50 Kg =371 Kg
Weight of fine aggregate (sand)= 1.5* 371=556.5 Kg
