How many tonnes of ballast to 1 cubic meter of concrete?

Answer 1

1 cubic meter of concrete is made up of

1,750kg ballast

300kg cement = 12 bags 25kg

150 litres water

or

1,200kg chippings

350kg cement =14 bags 25kg

700kg sand

150 lit water

Answer 2

It would depend on what the mix design is, some requirements would take a l9ot (50%) mix where as Gunite (Yes that is concrete) calls for no rock.

Certain pump mixes are considered harsh (for the pump) and other mixes are said to be Pump Mixes

So the answer is there is no certain amount.

Answer 3

800 kgs.When making your own concrete mix, it is most uncommon to weigh the ingredients. Use volume measure in the ratio 4:2:1 crushed aggregate:washed sand: cement. The sand and cement simply fill up the air spaces between the pieces of rock. So for 2 cubic Metre of finished concrete you need 2 cubic Metre Rock, 1cubic Metre sand and 1/2cubic Metre of Cement powder. That gives you the ratio 4:2:1. A ratio 5:2:1 is commonly used for low strength pathways. Use a bucketful or a barrowful as your measuring container. Ready mix factories weigh the ingredients but builders etc. Always measure by volume as described above.

Answer 4

one cubic meter of cement equals to 1.4 tonnes of cement by weight

Answer 5

Generally the rule of thumb for this is 2.5 to 1, meaning you would need 2.5 cubic meters of sand to manufacture 1 cubic meter of concrete.

Answer 6

Approximately 0.7 to 0.8 tonnes of ballast are typically used in 1 cubic meter of concrete to provide strength and stability.

Answer 7
