How to Calculate Quantity of Cement, Sand and Aggregate in RCC Slab

In this construction video tutorial, we will learn how to calculate the quantity of cement, sand and aggregate in RCC slab.

Assume a slab having length = 5 m and breadth = 3 m and thickness = 10 cm.

Compacted volume of slab = 3 x 5 x 10/100 = 3 x 5 x 0.1 = 1.5 m³

Change the volume into loose volume which is = 1.54 x 1.5 = 2.31 m³

Quantity of cement = Component of required component/addition of all components x loose volume

Quantity of cement = 1/7 x 2.31 = 0.33 m³

Also, 0.33/0.035 = 9.4 bags

Quantity of aggregate = 4/7 x 2.31 = 1.32 m³

Also, 1.32 x 35.315 = 46.62 ft³

Quantity of sand = 2/7 x 2.31 = 0.66 m³

Also, 0.66 x 35.315 = 23.31 ft³

Quantity of steel in kg = 1% of concrete volume x steel density = 1.5 x 1/100 x 7850 = 117.75 kg
