The mix proportion for M40 concrete is 1:1.65:2.92W/C ratio = 0.4The design calculation is as per IS mix design
In this M refer to Maximum compressive strength and 20 refer that concrete that with stand upto 20KN compressive strength.
upto M25 it is nominal mix but after that are the design mix which need to becalculated.....
To cover an area of 27 m² with a standard 10 cm (0.1 m) thick concrete layer, you will need approximately 2.7 m³ of concrete. A common mix ratio for concrete is 1 part cement to 2 parts sand to 3 parts gravel. For this volume, you would need about 540 kg of cement, 1.08 m³ of sand, and 1.62 m³ of gravel, adjusting based on specific mix designs or project requirements. Always consult with a professional for precise calculations based on your project needs.
The ratio of cement, sand and crushed stone in M 25 grade concrete is 1:1:2.In this grade of concrete a compressive strength not less than 25 N/mm2 is achieved in 28 days.

Ans: M15 grade indicates the grade of concrete used in the structure i.e M indicates the design mix proporation and 15 indicates the compressive strength of conctrete at 28 days in N/mm2

Density of concrete shall be achieved by 1. Providing airtight / watertight form work (Shuttrering to ensure no cement slurry is pilferred), 2. Using appropriate vibrators to vibrate the poured concrete to ensure proper compaction 3. Adding properely desinged admixtures and 4. Adequate design mix of concrete (M10 to M35) - m Velsamy -

To calculate the number of cement bags required for 1 cubic meter (m³) of concrete, you typically need about 300 kg of cement for standard concrete mixes. Since a standard cement bag weighs 50 kg, you would require approximately 6 bags of cement to make 1 m³ of concrete. However, the exact amount may vary based on the specific mix design and project requirements.
For design consideration Reinforced concrete is 150 lbs/ft^3. Unreinforced is around 145 lbs/ft^3. That comes out to 2402.77 kg/m^3 and 2322.68 kg/m^3 respectfully
