How do you calculate the amount of concrete required

If you try some "specific work plan for yourself, it is extremely important for you to calculate the exact amount of cement per order. Concrete is always ordered in cubic meters.

First you need to know what the new concrete surface can be used for.

garden shed to walk, driveway: namely

Different applications require thick concrete is different.

Use it as a basic guide for square and rectangular areas

Walk - 80 mm thick
Small plates - 80 mm thick
Access for cars standard size - 100mm

Use the following formula -

L = Length W = Width H = height or thickness

(L) x (L) x (H)

Driveway:

If the input is 5 feet long x 4 feet x 100 mm

5x4x.1 = 2 cubic meters of concrete required

The same formula can be applied to its footings, stairs, etc.
To determine the concrete needed for a triangular area is the formula as follows:

1 / 2 = half the base B = H = height

02.01 (B) x (H), which gives you the size of the area, with this amount of square displacement can be developed

If a triangle has an area of ​​5 meters and a height of 4 meters, the equation is as follows

2.5x4 = 10 m (2.5 is half the height of the base of 5)

Now that we have the square feet area of ​​the triangle, we can calculate the cubic volume

10 (sq mtr) x.1 = 1 cubic meter

There are some different types of concrete available bonds inc, color, concrete, terrazzo, limestone, light weight, green concrete, etc.

There are some factors that influence the nature of needs. Different applications require more power or a large particle size, etc.

Control of a default gateway of the type of cement would be 25/14/80

25 = 25 MPa, 14 = 14 = 80 80 mm aggregates of burglary

For a concrete path on the type of application should be 20/14/80

It would be based on the mix 25/14, 20/80

In the cold winter months, the mixture would have a "winter mix" are. A mixture of winter a low dose of an accelerator in the acceleration of maturation.

In the summer decellerant may need to use to slow the hardening of concrete.
