Quantity For A Beam

The document provides calculations to determine the quantity of materials needed for a concrete beam that is 106.68m long, 0.38m wide and 0.38m tall. It first calculates the wet and dry concrete volumes, then uses the concrete grade ratio and material densities to determine that 124 bags (6213kg) of cement, 6.47m3 (228.52cft) of sand, and 12.94m3 (457.17cft) of aggregate are required. It cross checks the total material volume against the original dry concrete volume.

QUANTITY FOR A BEAM

H: 0.38 m
W: 0.38 m

Given Data:
Length: 106.68 m, width: 0.38 m, Height: 0.38 m

Grade of Concrete: M20:1:1.5:3

Sum of Ratio= 1+1.5+3= 5.5

Dry Volume: 54%

Solution:
Wet Volume=L x W x H

=106.68x0.38x0.38

= 15.41 m3

Dry Volume= Wet Volume x 1.54

= 15.41 x 1.54

= 23.73 m3

Sand= 5.5 x 23.73

Sand= 6.47 m3 OR

Sand= 6.47 x 35.32 1 m3 = 35.32 CFT

Sand= 228.52 CFT

Aggregate= 5.5 x 23.73

Aggregate= 12.94 m3 OR

Aggregate= 12.94 x 35.32

Aggregate= 457.17 CFT

Req Quantities:
Cement: 124.25 Bags (6213 Kg)

Sand: 6.47 m3 (228.52 CFT)

Aggregate: 12.94 m3 (457.17 CFT)

Cross Check:

Total Volume= Volume of Cement + Volume of Sand + Volume of Coarse Aggregate

23.73= 4.31 + 6.47 + 12.94

23.73=23.72
