To mix 1 cubic meter of asphalt concrete, start by combining aggregate (such as crushed stone or gravel), asphalt binder, and any necessary additives in a hot mix plant. The aggregates should be heated to around 150-180°C (300-350°F) to ensure proper adhesion with the binder. Once the aggregates are heated, add the asphalt binder at the appropriate temperature and mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved. Finally, the asphalt concrete can be transported to the paving site for application.
The unit weight of asphalt concrete typically ranges from 145 to 155 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) or 2,300 to 2,500 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). This value can vary depending on the specific asphalt mix design and aggregate used in the asphalt concrete.
Ready mix concrete is usually delivered by a concrete mixer, once delivered it is ready to use immediately. One cubic meter will cost around USD $160.
A typical mixture of concrete will be 10 to 15% cement, 60 to 75% aggregate, and 15 to 20% water.
The cost of a square meter of concrete can vary depending on factors such as the type of concrete mix, local market conditions, and any additional labor or delivery costs. On average, the price can range from $75 to $150 per square meter. It is recommended to obtain quotes from local suppliers for an accurate estimate.
This may help or not. A cubic meter of concrete weighs 1(one) tonne Metric. If you convert 1 tonne to pounds and a cubic meter to cubic yards, then, you have it. 1cubic meter=1.30795037 cubic yards. 1tonne=0.98420625 of a ton..1ton=2240pounds. Mate, I hope that's right. If not it'll give you something to go on with.
4 bags of 50 kg each= 200 kg of cement.
That depends on the mix, there are hundreds of different mixes of concrete. A basic mix of concrete (say a blended RC25 mix) has 1000kg of sand, 1000kg of stone, 150kg of OPC cement, 125kg of GGBS slag, 1.3lt of WRA and 75lt of waters PER CUBIC METER. Regards Colin, a Tarmac concrete batcher.
A cubic meter of concrete typically weighs about 2.4 tons, which includes the weight of the aggregate (stone), cement, water, and any additives. The stone itself usually represents a significant portion of this weight, but the exact amount can vary depending on the mix design. Generally, the aggregate portion can be around 1.5 to 1.7 tons per cubic meter.
For M25 grade concrete, the mix proportion is typically 1:1:2 (cement:sand:aggregate). This means for 1 cubic meter of concrete, you would need 1/4 cubic meter of cement. As 1 cubic meter is equivalent to 35.32 cubic feet, and one bag of cement usually covers around 0.035 cubic meters, you would need approximately 7-8 bags of cement for 1 cubic meter of M25 grade concrete.
Concrete now comes in cubic meters. There is 2.2 tons to each cubic meter of concrete plus whatever the size if the truck is. An 8 meter truck is about 32 tons full, 6 meter truck is about 26 tons full and a minni mix (4 meters) is about 22 tons full. This is just a rough guide. Regards Colin
A cubic meter of concrete weighs around 2.5 tons. The weight will vary somewhat with the composition, but usual concrete mixes (per cubic meter) contain 350 Kg of cement, 700 Kg of sand, 1,200 Kg of chippings and 150 liters of water.
varies due to moisture content of aggregate and stiffnes of mix needed (slump)
