M30 ( 1 : 2 : 2.87)
Cement : 380 Kg/ M 3
20 mm Jelly : 654 Kg/ M 3
12.5 mm Jelly : 436 Kg/ M 3
River sand : 760 Kg/ M 3
Total water : 187 Kg/ M 3
Admixture : 0.7%
Fresh concrete density: 2420 Kg/ M 3
Note: Sand = 760 Kg with 2% moisture (170.80+15.20)
M35 ( 1 : 1.79 : 2.57)
Cement : 410 Kg/ M 3
20 mm Jelly : 632 Kg/ M 3
12.5 mm Jelly : 421 Kg/ M 3
River sand : 735 Kg/ M 3
Total water : 200 Kg/ M 3
Admixture : 0.7%
Fresh concrete density: 2400 Kg/ M 3
Note: sand = 735 + 2%, Water = 200- 14.7 = 185.30,
Admixture = 0.7%
BRICKS
1 cubic meter contains 500 bricks
The Standard size of 1st class brick is 190mm x 90mm x 90mm & motor joint should be 10mm thick
So brick with motor=200 x 100 x 100.
Volume of 1st class brick = 0.19 x 0.09 X 0.09 = 0.001539 cu.m
Volume of 1st class brick with motor =0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.002 cu.m
No. of bricks per 1cu.m= 1/volume of1st class brick with motor = 1 / 0.002 = 500 nos of bricks
1 Newton = 0.101971 kg
1 mm2 = 0.01 cm2
1 cm2 = 100 mm2
1 mm2 = 20 N
100 mm2 = 2000N
1 cm2 = 2000N
2000 N = 203.942 kg
So 20 N/ mm2 = 203.942 kg / cm2
RATIO IS 1:1.5:3 then volume is 1+1.5+3=5.5 and the total volume for using mix=1.57 m3 then
cement required=1/ 5.5*1.57=0.285m3*1440=411 kg. (8+bag)
sandrequried=1.5/5.5*1.57=0.471m3
aggregaterequired=3/5.5*1.57=0.853m3
the standard volume of dry mix mortar=1.57.. U can check it in IS code also.
