Find out dry material Required for 1cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Required dry material for 1 cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Solution:-

Ratio = 1:4:8 (Cement, Sand, Aggregates)
Sum = 1+4+8 = 13
Total Dry Mortar for 1 cum Cement Concrete = 1.54 cum.

Note.
VOLUME OF CEMENT BAG IN CUBIC FEET (CFT)since, 1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet = 28.80 No. of bags∴ Volume of one cement bag = 35.3147/28.80 = 1.226 CFT (cubic feet)
Therefor the Following Materials are Required:-

Cement = 1 x 1.54 x 28.8 / 13 = 3.31 Bags
Sand     = 4 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.47 cum.
Aggregates = 8 x 1.54 / 13 = 0.94 cum.

Cement =  3.31 Bags 
Sand     = 0.47 cum.
Aggregates = 0.94 cum.
Required dry material for 1 cum. Cement Concrete 1:4:8 Ratio in Foundation.

Medlum Density Fibre Board (MDF)

Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF)  MDF IS made from wood and other lignocellulose material refined into fibres and reconstituted with a resin binder. Row wood material is normally a single species wood. MDF has homogeneous structure with uniform density, texture and properties throughout, no identifiable grain can be seen at edge, end or face. There are no internal voids or pits and there is no variation in the surface hardness. Unlike plywood MDF doesn't delaminate. It has much higher strength than particle board. Since edges are totally smooth and uniform, costly tipping or beading with strips of wood required for plywood and particle board is not essential. It can be carved, grooved or embossed just like any timber. The surface of MDF is totally smooth and accepts all kinds of finishes - paints, varnishes and laminates. One such type of famous board in the market is 'Duratuff" . It comes in both interior and exterior grade. Duratuff prelaminated boards are also avail...

How to Calculate Cost and Quantity of 1000 Sq.ft Concrete Slab?

Cost and Quantity of 1000 Sq.ft Concrete Slab 1000 Sq.ft = 92.93 Sq.mt. Thickness of Slab = 0.150 Sq.mt. Volume of Slab = 92.93 X 0.150 = 13.939 cu.mt. Beam Volume = 20% o f concrete Vol.                         =13.939 X 20/100 = 2.7878 cu.mt. Total Slab Volume = 13.939 + 2.7878 = 16.768 = 17 cu.mt. We know :- M20 Grade of Concrete (1 : 1.5 : 3)  Concrete  Quantity  of 1 cu.mt. Cement = 8 bags   Sand = 15 cu.ft  aggregate = 30 cu.ft  1 cu.mt Concrete Cost =  4,550 Rs. So :- M20 Grade of Concrete (1 : 1.5 : 3)  Concrete  Quantity  of 1000 cu.mt. Cement = 17 X 8 = 136 bags  Sand = 17 X 15 = 255 cu.ft  aggregate = 30 X 17 = 510 cu.ft 1000 cu.mt Concrete Cost =  77,350 Rs. Steel Quantity = 1% of concrete Vol.                          =17 X 1/100 =...

AN INTRODUCTION TO HPL

What is hpl Decorative High Pressure Laminates (HPL), as defined by the European and international standards for HPL, EN 438 and ISO 4586, are high-density panels (≥1.35g/cm3), finished and ready for use, which have exceptional mechanical, physical strength and chemical resistance, are easy to work and simple to maintain. Arpa HPL panels are made of several layers of cellulose fibre material impregnated with thermosetting resins and then simultaneously subjected to both pressure (>7MPa)) and heat (140 / 150°C) in special presses, for a fixed time, which varies depending on the type of laminate. This process creates a stable, inert, homogeneous, nonporous and high density material, with physical and chemical properties that are totally different from those of its original ingredients. In addition, given its very low permeability, HPL acts as a barrier against the possible emission of formaldehyde and other volatile substances (VOCs) from any timber substrates it is applied to.
