Deta led analys s on M20 = 1:1.5:3 (Rat o)

As we know that dur ng concret ng when we place wet concrete , t gets harden after certa n standard
t me( 30 m ns IST & 10hrs FST), cons der ng same t had be dec ded upon by C v l des gn Eng neers to
take a factor of safety rang ng from 1.54 to 1.57 to counter that shr nkage.

.e volume of dry Concrete = 1.54 to 1.57 t mes Volume of wet concrete.

Now calculat ons s as follows for 1cum(assumed) of Concrete work

rat o Sum = 1+1.5+3=5.5

Shr nkage or safety Factor =1.57 (you can take 1.54 also)

So Total volume of wet concrete requ red s :- 1.57cum

Volume of broken stone Requ re = (3/5.5) x 1.57 = 0.856 m3

Volume of sand Requ re = (1.5/5.5) x 1.57 = 0.471 m3

Volume of cement = (1/5.5) x 1.57 = 0.285 m3

= 0.285 x1440 = 411 kg

For 1m3 of M20 (1:1.5:3)

Broken stone = 0.856 m3

Sand = 0.472 m3

Cement = 8.22 bag.

Some mportant conclus on from above

8 bag of Cement s requ red for 1cum of concrete work n M20.

4.4 bag of cement s requ red for 1cum of concrete work n M10.

volume of dry concrete =1.54 t mes volume of wet concrete.
