Factors that affects the concrete quantity in practical application.

Yield of the concrete = it is like after mixing ingredients as per design, do am i getting volume of concrete equals to 1 cum or
is there any difference.

Deshmukh This volume gets affected due to change in source of the aggregates, if aggregates becomes lighter in density, your concrete
Staff member is going to give you more than a cum in volume for same mix design. it will further reduce the volume of the concrete in case
 Pune of aggregates received are heavier than one used for doing mix design.
Batching Error - The batching plant if looses its calibration on its weight scales, it will impact severely on a produce concrete
like it will overdose the aggregates in a mix which will tend to increase the volume of 1 cum of concrete with same cement
content.
Error in Theoretical Concrete Quantity Calculations - This will also lead to difference between poured and theoretical
quantity either on plus or on minus side.
Pouring Error - In case of the mass concrete pouring less by few mm or few cm could make a huge difference in the concrete
quantity which in most of the cases results in consumption of concrete by less than required amount as per theoretical value.

sorry if am wrong sir...density of aggregate or cement doesn't matter in the sense of concrete volume variation b/w Theoritical
vs actual i guess. It may correct during the output volume of concrete from batching plant. 0

Deshmukh At the time of concrete mix designing, the weights of the each aggregates are decided base on their specific gravity.
Staff member
 Pune Specific gravity is the ratio of per unit volume of material compared with same unit volume of water (stating it with unit of
kg/cum does not make any difference like, aggregate having specific gravity of 2.9, I could say aggregates weights 2900 kg
per cum in its purest form without any voids in it, but as its a ratio in mathematical calculations kg and cum get removed).
crush aggregates when taken as cum quantity, it will weight less due to presence of voids in it, if we compare it with same
aggregate / rock which is in size of 1m x 1m x 1m.
example - I have to put 750 kg of 20 mm aggregates in concrete. if its specific gravity becomes low due to higher porosity or
voids in it. the volume which it makes to same weight will get increase and will make my concrete more than a cum for same
mix design. same way if its specific gravity increases my volume will become less for same required weight of aggregate in
mix, this will result into less volume of concrete.
Heavy weight concrete is produced by using heavy aggregates where the volume of the concrete is same but weights of
aggregates are more.
so changes in specific gravity of aggregates do impact on the volume of concrete produced with it.

Hello Sir, Can you Please make a Share an Excel Sheet for Concrete Mix Designs for all Grades
I Could See only M10,M25 and M30 and that one is with Fly Ash and one is with Pure Cement. 0
So it would be helpful if you can share all grades
