1 Cement bag contains = 50 kg cement
Concrete Base Pouring Precautions
Preparation Before Pouring
- Check the stability of formwork and supports, especially for cantilever members.
- Clean the formwork and wet it without ponding.
- Inspect the reinforcement for specifications, quantity, position, and binding.
Pouring Process Precautions
- Pour concrete before it sets initially. Re-mix if necessary.
- Control the concrete mix ratio strictly.
- Limit the free-fall height of concrete to prevent segregation.
- Vibrate evenly to ensure compactness without damaging reinforcement.
- Handle construction joints properly if pouring cannot be continuous.
- Monitor safety during pouring.
Post-Pouring Care
- Cover and moisturize the concrete within 12 hours.
- Water the concrete for the required curing period.
- Avoid walking on or installing forms and supports until the concrete reaches sufficient strength.
- Regularly test concrete strength.
Calculate Steps
Step 1: Cement Concrete Volume
Formula: Length × Width × Height
Step 2: Wet Volume of Mix
Formula: Cement Concrete Volume × 1.524
Step 3: Amount of Cement Required
Formula: (Cement Ratio / Total Ratio) × Wet Volume of Mix
Step 4: No. of Cement Bags
Formula: Amount of Cement Required / 0.035
Step 5: Amount of Sand Required
Formula: (Sand Ratio / Total Ratio) × Wet Volume of Mix
Step 6: Sand in Kg
Formula: Amount of Sand Required × 1550
Step 7: Amount of Gravel Required
Formula: (Gravel Ratio / Total Ratio) × Wet Volume of Mix
Step 8: Gravel in tons
Formula: Amount of Gravel Required × 1.3 × Gravel Size
