How to calculate the volume of sand , aggregate and cement in 1m^3 of concrete? Take M-20 concrete : Question-Answer
Question
How to calculate the volume of sand , aggregate and cement in 1m^3 of concrete? Take M-20 concrete
Answer
Example M-20 mix design (1:2:3) if we are given 1 m^3 concrete
First we add up 1+2+3=6
Means
1 cement
2 sand
3 aggregate
To calculate the the volume of sand
1 * 2/6= 2/6 m^3 =0.33m^3
To calculate the volume of aggregate (gravel)
1 * 3/6 = 0.5m^3
To calculate the volume of cement
1 * 1/6 = 0.167m^3
To calculate cement in piece
1 bag of cement is 0.036m^3 so divide the quantity of cement with a bag of cement
Bag of cement = 0.167 / 0.036 = 4.6
So we use 5 bag of cement
We consider dry volume not wet volume
To convert dry volume to wet volume we multiply it by 1.54
Wet volume =1.54 dry volume
10% shrinkage
44% wastage

Which one of the following is an advantage using a triangular notch over a rectangular notch?
- (a) Ventilation of a triangular notch is necessary
- (b) The same triangular notch cannot measure a wide range of
flows accurately
- (c) For heavy discharges, a triangular notch gives more accurate
results than a rectangular
notch.
- (d) In a given triangular notch, only one reading is required to be taken for the measurement of discharge
A triangular notch is preferred to a rectangular notch due to following reasons:
1. The expression for discharge for a right angled V-notch is very simple.
2. For measuring low discharge, a triangular notch gives more accurate results than
a rectangular notch.
3. In case of triangular notch, only one reading, i.e., H is required for the computation
of discharge.
4. Ventilation of triangular notch is not necessary.
