How to estimate the quantities of materials for 1 cubic meter concrete

Construction Software

The absolute volume method is a most recognized method to work out the quantities of materials essential for generating the proper quantity of concrete on the basis of specified mix ratios.

This method is formulated on the basis of the principle that the volume of completely compacted concrete is equivalent to the absolute volume of all the materials of concrete, namely cement, sand, coarse aggregates and water.

A Concrete structure will generally contain beams, slabs, columns and foundations etc. on the basis of type of structure. The volume of concrete necessary for concrete structure is estimated by summation of the volumes of individual structural member or each part of members.

The volume of a rectangular cross sectional member is estimated as length x width x height (or depth or thickness).
