Concrete — estimated quantities

Wet volume
3 m³
Dry volume (× 1.54)
4.62 m³
Cement
26 bags · 1,270.1 kg
Sand (fine aggregate)
1.323 m³ · 46.7 cft
Aggregate (20 mm)
2.646 m³ · 93.4 cft
Water (w/c 0.5)
605 litres

Methodology & formulas used

  • Wet volume: Length × Width × Thickness
  • Dry volume: Wet volume × 1.54
  • Cement: (1/5.5) × dry volume × 1440 kg/m³ × wastage
  • Sand / Aggregate: Mix share of dry volume × wastage
  • Water: Pre-wastage cement weight × w/c 0.5 for M20 — wastage is not applied to water
