Good Evening house,

Please I need assistance with calculating the concrete mix of a particular civil work I want to carry out in my house.

Meanwhile, I have tried using some online apps I found on app store yet I don't know if I'm doing it right or if the results are accurate.

Please who can assist me to get an accurate calculation (either manually or with an online app).
The dimensions are:-
Length: 252 inches
Width: 9 inches
Depth: 36 inches

Please don't ignore.

firstly we need to convert the units from inches to mm then to m.

Therefore length = 252inches × 25mm = 6300mm÷ 1000 = 6.3m

Width = 9inches × 25mm= 225mm÷1000= 0.025m

Depth = 36inches ×25mm = 900mm÷ 1000= 0.9m.

Length = 6.3m
Width = 0.025m
Depth = 0.9m

Volume of the concrete = 6.3m × 0.025m × 0.9m = 1.28cbmtrs

Using ratio 1:2:4

Cement needed = 1.28cbmtrs ×1/7

0.182cubmtrs÷0.035( volume of cement} = 5.2bags approx. 6bags.

Sharp sand needed = 1.28cubmtrs × 2/7 =
0.367cubmtrs
Density of sand = 1602kg/cubmtrs
Density = mass / volume

Mass = Density × volume
Mass = 1602kg/cubmtrs × 0.367cubmtrs
Mass = 585.9kg
Sand is measured in tons ( 1000kg = 1ton)
Therefore 585.5kg/1000kg = 0.6tons

Granite needed = 1.28cubmtrs × 4/7
0.73cubmtrs
Density of granite = 2700kg/cubmtrs
Density = mass/volume
Mass = Density × Volume
Mass = 2700kg/cubmtrs × 0.73cubmtrs
Mass = 1974kg
Granite is measured in tons (1000kg = 1ton)
Therefore 1974kg/1000kg = 1.974ton approx 2tons.

Cement = 6bags
Sharp sand = 0.6tons
Granite = 2tons.

Against the counsel of N3xt & the house I didnt do pillars(sad face)

My foundation concrete was 3" thick

Foundation depth 1ft 6"(hard soil)

Mortar mixture used 1bag of cement, 12heapan of sharp sand ( please is this good enough?)it will be okay if you can do the over site concrete ( German floor) it will be able to protect your foundation from the materials you imported to site during dpc stage e.g filling sand.
Your concrete mixture and mortar mixture are ok. Congratulations on your project

For the concrete. 1bag of cement, 8 headpan of sharp sand and 7headpan of granite( is this Ok too?)

4 coaches has been achieved and the surrounding roads are lower than the estate. Next stage is filling and German Floor

I have insisted on the german floor, I am being pressed to continue building and do that later

The area is not water logged, please what advantage does the German floor have and why should I do it?

Thanks, can the cross ventilation be implemented now without changing much of the plans.

As for pillars, Its a common thing amongst layfolks not to use pillars for bungalow, I am more concerned with with future maintenance, currently have an old family house, we couldn't change from louvers to Sliding glass due the absence of lintel over that point. Please if I am to introduce pillars, can you mark out where they should be? what size of rods should I be looking at?

Happy new year to the house!!

I decided to suspend my 3bedroom(I earlier brought the plan here for criticisms) and start with the 2bedroom bungalow/1bedroom BQ, attached is the floor plan and the type of roof I plan to do.

The ground is a solid one and since I dont intend to do a high pitched roof or parapet, do I need to introduce pillars?

Any criticism of the floor plan

weldone madam, happy new year to you and your household. Non of these bedrooms is cross ventilated and I'm worried about that. Anyways that's not the question at hand, yes you still need to introduce columns (pillars) to the building cos of the span of the building so as to avoid cracks. But the pillars to be introduced might not as critical as the ones going up.
