How To Mix And Measurement Of A Concrete by adaeborwarlae(op): 6:53pm On Aug 17, 2013
JAMADESOG BUILDING CONTRACTOR
The measurement of a pure concrete is in the ratio of 1:2:4.
1 is one head pan of cement(half bag of cement)
2 is two head pan of sharp sand
4 is four head pan of granite.
To mix a concrete by mixing machine:
1) First put 20 litres of water into the machine,
2) put 1 head pan of cement(half bag),
3) put 2 head pan of sharp sand,
4) put 4 head pan of granite,
and the machine will mix it all together.
To mix by hand:
Measure 7 head pan of sharp sand,put 1 bag of cement and mix it together with a shovel,after mixing put 5 head pan of granite and spread it on it,put 50 litres of water to it and mix to form a paste.
FAQ: Why is measurement of granite for mixing machine is more than mixing by hand?
ANS: Because mixing machine will mix it very well(continuos rotating) to quickly form a paste than mixing by hand.

Is that why there should be reduction in the required ratios of materials needed for maximum output? What would be the factor of safety of the structure to be erected?

[url= https://www.duzzlag.com/lightweight-concrete-mix-design/]Concrete[/url] is a durable material that can be used for a variety of applications, such as building roads and bridges. Unfortunately, because concrete is so heavy and bulky, it’s difficult to transport and use in large quantities. A new type of lightweight concrete mix has been developed that could make construction more efficient.
