How is PCC ratio calculated?
The term PCC stands for plain cement concrete….What is PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) Calculation?
| Concrete Grade | Proportion of Cement : Sand : Stone pieces | Expected Compressive Strength at 28 days |
|---|---|---|
| M20 or M200 | 1 : 1.5 : 3 | 20 N/mm2 or 200 Kg/cm2 |
| M25 or M250 | 1 : 1 : 2 | 25 N/mm2 or 250 Kg/cm2 |
How do you calculate M 15?
AGGREGATE
- Quantity of Aggregate in Cubic Meter. Cubic Meter = DRY Volume of Concrete x ( Ratio of Aggregate / Sum of Total Ratio) = 1.54 x (4/7)
- Quantity of Aggregate in KG. KG = DRY Volume of Concrete x (Ratio of Aggregate / Sum of Total Ratio) x Density of Aggregate.
- Quantity of Aggregate in Cubic Feet.
What is the mix ratio of PCC?
PCC concrete mix ratio is 1:5:10, which Means 1 part of cement, 5 parts of sand, and 10 parts of aggregate. PCC in construction is used to make a level bed for footing.
How is PCC material calculated?
Suppose we have project of making concrete pavement of area 100m2 and slab thickness of PCC is 150 mm. Now we have to calculate dry volume calculating dry volume we should multiply a cofactor 1.54 in wet volume. Mix ratio in M15 grade = 1:2:4 one part cement two part is sand and 4 part is aggregate.
Which grade cement is used for PCC?
M15 grade
The Grade of the PCC used is M15 grade. IN M15 Grade, The mix ratio is 1:2:4. (1 cement,2 sand , 4 aggregates). Applications: M15 grade plain concrete cement is used for levelling courses,bedding for footing, beams and columns e.tc.
Which grade cement is best for PCC?
OPC 53 grade Cement OPC Cement gives high compressive strength at early ages and at 28 days. A 53 Grade cement gives up to 70 MPa strength against a minimum 53 MPa specified by BIS. So, We can also mix fly ash (at least 20% by weight of cement) in concrete as part replacement of cement at site.
