After finding how much filling material you need for your wall, you might be asking how much cement, sand, and gravel you need for your mix. You can check out our cement calculator to determine how much of these components you need, depending on whether you want concrete or mortar to fil...
Our sand calculator and this gravel calculator will help you to figure out how much of each material you will need for your building site. Why use the concrete calculator? You may have been in a situation similar to this: you have decided to build your own house, a terrace, or a fence...
A concrete preparation plant for manufacture of concrete prior to loading into mobile concrete mixer transport lorries has three silos one each for gravel fine sand and coarse sand. Measured amounts of three are dispensed by a regulating chamber. Measured amounts of cement from a conveyor fed cem...
By combining cement with aggregates like sand or gravel, concrete block machines produce durable blocks essential for foundations, walls, and other critical structures. Their efficiency not only ensures consistency in block quality but also significantly reduces the reliance on manual labor, en...
A dry mix concrete plant, also known as a transit mix plant, weighs sand, gravel and cement in weigh batchers via digital or manual scales. All the ingredients are then discharged into a chute, which discharges into a truck. Meanwhile, water is either being weighed or volumetrically metered...

When the volume–surface ratio exceeded 30, the increasing V/S can effectively decrease the creep and creep growth rate under long-term loading. In practical engineering, the V/S of the beam can be increased by controlling the beam length and increasing the beam width or height as appropriate...
The samples A04 and D40 that contained marble powder instead of sand and cement, respectively, showed an extra improvement in strength in the strength activity results as shown in Figure 4. After 28 days, the strength ratio for the samples was 15% and 3% higher, respectively, showing that ...
Conversion calculator for webmasters.ConcreteThis general purpose concrete formulation, called also concrete-aggregate (4:1 - sand/gravel aggregate : cement - mixing ratio w/ water) conversion tool is based on the concrete mass density of 2400 kg/m3 - 150 lbs/ft3 after curing (rounded)...
cement and water-a reaction known as hydration. If there isn't enough water, the crystals can't grow and the concrete doesn't develop the strength it should. If there is enough water, the crystals grow out like tiny rock-hard fingers wrapping around the sand and gravel in the mix and ...
