    The document estimates material costs for a construction project involving beams and cylinders. It calculates that 54 beams will be needed for compression, tension, and flexure testing at 7 and 28 days, and 90 cylinders will be needed for compression, tension, and flexural testing with various percentage replacements, totaling 108 beams and 180 cylinders. Based on the dimensions, the total volume is calculated as 66.16 cubic feet of concrete. The quantities of cement, sand, aggregate, and rice husk ash are then determined based on a 1:2:4 mix design. The total estimated cost is 7300 Rs.

    CALCULATIONS
    CYLINDER DIAMETER =6”
    CYLINDER HEIGHT = 12”
    AREA = 37.68in2 VOLUME = 452.16 in3
    BEAM DIMENSIONS ( 100*100*500) mm3
    VOLUME = 305.1175 mm3

    TOTAL VOLUME = 108(305.1175) + 180(452.16)= 114,341 cubic inch

    VOLUME IN CUBIC FEET = 66.169 cubic feet

    CONCRETE MIX DESIGN

    RATIO 1:2:4

    CEMENT = 66.169/7 = 9.45 cubic feet

    SAND = 2(66.169)/7= 18.90 cubic feet

    AGGREGATE= 4(66.169)/7=37.81 cubic feet

    QUANTITY

    NO. OF BAGS OF CEMENT = 9.45/1.23=7.68 BAGS approx. 8 BAGS

    NO. OF CARTS OF SAND = 1 CART

    NO. OF BOXES OF AGGREGATE = 37.81/0.77025=49.08 BOXES approx. 50 BOXES.

    TOTAL RICE HUSK ASH = 75 *4 = 300 Kg (ash = 25% of husk by wt.)

    COSTS

    8 BAGS OF CEMENT = 8*600 = 4800 Rs

    1 CART OF SAND = 500 Rs

    50 BOXES OF AGGREGATE = 50*40 = 3000Rs

    COST OF ASH =
    TOTAL = 7300 Rs
