How many bags of cement do you have in 1 cubic meter of concrete mixed in the ratio 1:4:8?
3 x25kg bags of cement for 1 kub concrete.......what a joke !!!!! There is 16 wheel barrows in a kub of sand + stone mix (normally 50-50 sand to stone ) For every 4 wheel barrows you use 1 bag of 50kg of 32.5 cement So.....it gives you 4x50kg cement to mix 1 kub of concrete. The slump depends on what you wanna use the concrete for........it means if you need concrete for floor screeting you are going to use less water( it will be a more stiff mix ) More water added for foundations and big floor areas where you will use rolers to flatten out and after drying for about 6 hours you apply the mechanical machines for screeting. Make sure you screet through the slurry.(polish the floor and not the screet). Its better to make use of ready mix with a % fibre in the mix for big area flooring and try to work in the shade.....ok?....Happy hunting..
Approx. 3Bags of 25 Kgs of Cement; 1 cubic metre of concrete =1000 Kgs
1 bag of cement contains 1ft^3. divide 1 cubic meter into 13 parts. 1 part cement, 4 parts fine aggregate and 8 parts course aggregate. 1cubic meters of concrete/13= 0.0769 cubic meters Since cement is only 1 part then you will need 0.0769 cubic meters of cement. 0.0769m^3 ( 3.39ft/1m)^3= 2.996 ft^3 of cement Therefore you would need 3 bags of cement for a cubic meter of concrete.
