How to estimate material quantities in cement concrete

By watching this construction video tutorial one will be familiar with some easy to follow processes for measuring material quantities of cement, sand and aggregate in cement concrete.

In this construction video, executable volume of PCC is provided as 10 cubic meter to be executed with M15 grade of concrete having proportion 1:2:4.

Even though, the terms cement and concrete are generally used reciprocally, in fact cement is considered as an ingredient of concrete. Concrete is fundamentally a blend of aggregates and paste.
