EXAMPLE 2.7.1. ESTIMATING A CONCRETE ROAD PAVEMENT

Determine the quantity of cement, sand, and gravel of the proposed concrete parking area 6" thick with general dimensions of 150m x 120m using class A mixture.

For area method, compute for the area only, not necessarily the volume.


                       

The area will be used as a multiplier of the coefficients from the table.

The pavement requires 6inches = 15cm. Using class A of commercially available cement bags, the coefficients are as follows:

  • Cement = 1.350
  • Sand     = 0.0750
  • Gravel   = 0.150
